The passages mix fiction and nonfiction: a story, a recipe, a friendly letter and two articles. Questions cover main idea, key details, vocabulary in context, sequence and text features. It's a Thanksgiving escape room you can run as a November literacy center, play together on the board, or hand to early finishers. There's no prep. You share one link and the game checks the answers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this one, Tom the turkey hides from Farmer Fran by trying on five disguises, and your class builds them. Each right answer adds a costume piece to Tom, and students can reopen the passage whenever they want to check something. If they pick a wrong answer, Tom tells them why it doesn't fit. It makes Thanksgiving reading practice feel like a holiday treat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Story\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's Thanksgiving morning at Maple Hill Farm, and Farmer Fran is calling for Tom. Tom thinks he knows why she wants him, and he isn't sticking around to find out. He needs a disguise. Actually, he needs five. After each disguise is finished, Farmer Fran walks right past him. At the end, Tom learns she only wanted him in the family's Thanksgiving photo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Five Disguises\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Scarecrow\u003c\/strong\u003e (cornfield) - an article on why farms have scarecrows: main idea, sections, word meaning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Chef\u003c\/strong\u003e (farmhouse kitchen) - a pumpkin muffin recipe: answer, then choose the words from the recipe that prove it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Football Player\u003c\/strong\u003e (backyard) - a story about a family football game: the lesson, why things happened, putting events in order\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Mail Carrier\u003c\/strong\u003e (mailbox) - a thank-you letter: why it was written, word meaning, what happened next\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Pumpkin\u003c\/strong\u003e (pumpkin patch) - an article on how pumpkins grow: main idea, a life cycle diagram, cause and effect\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Inside\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA digital Thanksgiving escape room with five farm settings, five original reading passages and 25 questions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePassages of about 190 to 215 words.
