LISTENING & FOLLOWING DIRECTIONS Team Building Activities Executive Functioning

Are your students struggling to listen carefully, follow directions, or pay attention during group activities? Help them strengthen their listening, focus, and executive functioning skills with our “Listening Lighthouse” Teamwork Challenge Escape Mission!

In this engaging digital escape game, students navigate the Listening Lighthouse by making thoughtful choices and practising active listening. Every correct answer earns a key that guides them closer to the lighthouse beacon, while incorrect answers lead to an ACCESS DENIED screen—encouraging students to pause, listen again, and try with more focus. The difficulty increases with each level, helping students develop essential academic skills, SEL competencies, and strong classroom listening habits.

How It Works

• Students read the listening-focused question in the center of each slide.
• They click their chosen answer.
• Correct? They earn a lighthouse key and move to the next level.
• Incorrect? ACCESS DENIED! Students must refocus and try again.
• Each level becomes more challenging, reinforcing attention, comprehension, and patience.
• Collect all the keys to climb to the top of the Listening Lighthouse and escape the challenge!

Why Teachers Love It
