Introducing the New Words and Verbs Unlock Challenge
This one-of-a-kind puzzle is designed to spark curiosity and ignite passion in your students. It incorporates new words and verbs in an interactive format, allowing them to master vocabulary in a fun and engaging way.
​

​The Puzzle Explained….

Objective:
Students must solve four clues related to new words and verbs to find the four-number combination that unlocks the lock.

Instructions:
Provide the students with the following clues. Each clue will reveal a single number in the lock combination.

Clue 1: Synonyms Challenge
Find a synonym for the word "CREATE." Now, count the number of letters in that synonym. That number is the first digit of the code.
Answer: "MAKE" (4 letters, so the first digit is 4)

Clue 2: Verb Tense Mystery
Take the verb "RUN." What's the third letter of its past simple form? Convert that letter to a number using A=1, B=2, etc.
Answer: "RAN" (the third letter is N, so the second digit is 14)

Clue 3: Word Formation Quest
How many vowels are there in the word "EDUCATION?" That number is the third digit of the code.
Answer: 5 vowels, so the third digit is 5

Clue 4: Secret Verb Code
Find the verb that matches this definition: "To give an account of a story or event." Count the number of consonants in that verb.
Answer: "NARRATE" (5 consonants, so the fourth digit is 5)
​
As students unravel the clues, they'll decode a 4-digit lock combination – an exhilarating way to test their word prowess.
Final Code to Open the Lock: 4-1-4-5 (Note: Depending on your lock's requirements, you may use the last digit of the second number, which would make the code 4-4-5-5)
