our middle school detectives investigated a mysterious crime scene in the outdoor area!
Working together, they carefully searched for clues, including a chewed rope, mysterious notes and gnawed netting. Through lively discussions and clever detective work, they made evidence-based guesses about what had happened. Their investigations revealed that the Lion and the Mouse from Aesop’s tales were responsible for the crime scene!
The children enjoyed sharing their theories, explaining their thinking and using the evidence they discovered to solve the mystery. This exciting activity developed communication, reasoning and problem-solving skills while bringing the story to life in a fun and memorable way.
