Christmas Around the World Passport Escape Room for Kids, Printable Christmas Escape Game Ages 6 to 11, Classroom and Homeschool Activity

Seller's description

It’s Christmas Eve at the Snowflake Post Office, right at the top of the world, and the last mail sack still holds eight Christmas cards that must arrive before midnight. Your kids become Junior Couriers: they climb into the hot-air balloon with Skye, a little Arctic tern in a postal cap, and fly to eight countries. In each one a local child explains how their family celebrates Christmas and sets a puzzle. Right answer? A stamp in the passport. Collect all eight and the Midnight Lock opens.

Around the World by Midnight is a printable escape game for kids aged 6 to 11, with a grown-up as the Passport Officer. Every country has two puzzles that earn the same stamp: Star level (ages 8–11) with logic, codes and clues, and Snowflake level (ages 6–7) with pictures, counting and patterns, no reading needed. Siblings of different ages play side by side. The traditions are real and checked against reliable sources: a summer beach Christmas in Australia, strawberry Christmas cake in Japan, parol star lanterns in the Philippines, Genna on January 7 in Ethiopia, La Befana in Italy, the first star of Christmas Eve in Poland, Lucia in Sweden, and Las Posadas with the piñata in Mexico.

A game takes 45 to 75 minutes, or two shorter sessions of four countries. Prep takes about 20 minutes: print, cut out the stamps and fold the passports. You need a printer, scissors, a glue stick and pencils. Every puzzle also works printed in black and white. Perfect for Christmas Eve afternoon, family Christmas parties, homeschool, Sunday school and the last week of school before the holidays.
