Thanksgiving Digital Escape Room for ASL | Deaf Culture Dinner Table Syndrome

Bring Deaf culture to life this November with an escape room your ASL students will be talking about long after Thanksgiving break. Students work through five rooms to learn about Dinner Table Syndrome, the isolation many Deaf people feel at hearing family gatherings, and discover practical ways to include Deaf family and friends at the holiday table.

Digital OR print-ready, your choice. Run it on devices with the ready-made escape room website and Google Form Lock Box. No devices or no internet? Use the complete printable No-Tech Version included in this packet. Both versions use the same five rooms and the same codes, so you can switch between them anytime.
