Christmas Eve is the best time to create memories as a family, and what better way than having a Christmas escape room for the kids? My boys have been obsessed with solving puzzles and mysteries. We even created a kid friendly escape room that they played with a friend over Thanksgiving. Since the kids loved it so much, I decided to turn our Christmas Eve box into a Nativity Escape Room for Kids!
The entire nativity escape game is free to download and print as a PDF! It has 6 nativity puzzles and games that can be played with kids from Kindergarten to Third Grade.
I created this with my 9, 6, and 4 year old boys in mind. There are a couple of puzzles that the 4 year old will be able to help solve!
