What is it?

The goal of the escape room is for students to find the code to unlock the four virtual kitchen and food safety puzzles before the class ends. Puzzles include information about food safety practices, such as proper food prep techniques, safe food storage, food allergies, and cooking temperatures. When students solve the puzzles, they can add a code to the self-checking Google Form.

Kitchen and food safety focus

Overall, this kitchen and food safety digital escape room is a unique and engaging way to learn about important safety practices in the kitchen. Whether you have a classroom full of seasoned chefs or just starting out, it’s worth giving one a try to improve your students’ cooking skills and keep themselves and others safe. As students are working to improve their skills and expertise in the kitchen, practicing food safety is always important. Students will need to know the top eight food allergies. Food allergies are becoming more prevalent. If a student doesn’t have a food allergy, it’s likely a friend does.

There are four main focuses for students to know. Common allergies are key when cooking for others. Preventing accidents in the kitchen includes many components. Someone in the kitchen would need to think through various things throughout the cooking experience. And also potentially dangerous events in the kitchen that could lead to injury or food poisoning.

Digital and print options

This escape room can be completed online, in a printed version, or as a hybrid of the two. All puzzles are accessible online and students will add their codes to the Google Form. The puzzles can also be printed, allowing students to complete the puzzles on paper and the teacher to grade the codes. The hybrid option would allow for students to have printed copies of the puzzles and then each student or group member to record the answer codes on the Google Form. Codes are entered in all capital letters without spaces or commas.
