HOW TO PLAY
⭐⭐ WHAT’S CURRENTLY INCLUDED: 30 MYSTERY ACTIVITIES ⭐⭐
2 VERSIONS OF EVERY MYSTERY (3 & 5 CLUES)
Each theme includes a main skills version and a math facts version. Both skill versions come with a 3-clue option and a 5-clue option, making it easy to adjust the length and difficulty for your students.
PRINT AND DIGITAL
Choose between print and go or the digital version with Google Slides. These are easy to assign in Google Classroom and are perfect for teachers who have copy limits.
FAST FINISHER ACTIVITY
If students finish early, give them a certificate of completion and a directed drawing (includes 6) to complete while others continue working.
BENEFITS OF MYSTERIES:
HOW TO USE:
Each activity includes a set of clues for students to solve. After completing each clue, students uncover a phrase that tells them what to cross off their recording sheet. As they work through the detective worksheets, students use critical thinking and process of elimination to narrow down the possibilities. Once every clue is complete, they can reveal the final answer and solve the case!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
Do these come with 3 clues or 5 clues?
Both! Choose the 3 clue or 5 clue version based on your students’ needs, or use both to differentiate. Since both versions lead to the same culprit, students won’t know they received different assignments.
How do I use this with my students?
These are meant to be completed with teacher support. Use these activities with the whole class, in small groups at the teacher table, enrichment opportunities for high ability students in pairs, as sub plans, or for seasonal review. First grade students will need help reading the directions at first but can work more independently once they learn the format.
Are Math Cases the same as Reading Cases?
No! The math and reading versions use completely different clues, practice different skills, and reveal different culprits. The starting list of suspects is the only part they share. Students can complete both the math and reading versions without solving the same mystery twice! Check out the previews for a closer look at the differences.
How long does it take to complete this activity?
Completion time depends on the version, skill, students’ ability levels, and whether they are working with or without teacher support. The 3-clue version works well when time is limited, while the 5-clue version provides a longer activity. Complete the case in one sitting or spread the clues across several days. After trying one, you’ll have a better sense of the pacing that works best for your class!
Is a digital version included?
Yes! The digital version is available in Google Slides and the link is included in the printable PDF. You can download the Google Slides to use in PowerPoint if needed.
This mystery includes 2 versions. What is the difference between the main mystery and the fact fluency mystery?
Both versions follow the same storyline and format, so they look the same to students. However, the worksheet pages practice different skills. This allows you to choose the version that best fits each student without drawing attention to different assignments. If you would like students to complete a mystery that leads to a new ending, the reading mysteries have completely different clues and endings!
What should students do if they finish early?
Students who finish early can complete an included directed drawing while their classmates continue working. A certificate of completion is included for every student. You can also have fast finishers complete unfinished assignments or read independently.
