Your learner will travel together with the class through all of the Holiday Themed "clues" of the escape challenge using their basic skills (numbers, patterns, basic addition, basic subtraction, and alphabet) to unlock the codes and help the Gingerbread Man escape.  Once the code has been unlocked by the class, a fitness skill will then need to be completed by the class in order to move to the next "room" and eventually . . . onto Santa's cookie plate. 

Learners will be given time to complete the codes by recording their answers on an erasable white board or using paper and pencil.  SUPPORT WILL BE GIVEN AS NEEDED along the way.  Learners will take turns revealing the codes and leading the count for the fitness exercise. 

Examples of the fitness skills include activities such as:  20 one foot hops, 20 elbow crosses, twisting 20 X, stretching for 30 seconds, or 10 toe touches, just to name a few. 

Examples of the basic skill prerequisites include:
Basic addition and subtraction, filling in missing numbers, patterning objects and numbers, and ordering numbers.  Your child should have some degree of knowledge with basics like these: 

4 + 6 = ___
6 - 4 = ___

Fill in the missing numbers or letters:
8, 7, 6, ___, 4, 3, 2, 1
6, 4, 4, 6, ___, 4, 6, 4, 4
O, N, M, L, ___, J, I, H, G

Put the numbers in order:
18, 81, 7, 17, 32, 20

IMPORTANT NOTE:  
This is a "practice" class, not an initial instruction of skills class.  Support, strategies, and a little basic instruction is given when needed and when students request help, but the basic concepts are needed for registration (no memorized facts required).
