Can your students find the right clues and figure out which suspect is responsible?
“Dear Junior Detectives,
Not much happens in my small, coastal town of Bayridge. Being a detective here is usually so easy. But today, something BIG happened. We had tourists arrive, but not on purpose and certainly not for a vacation. They didn’t drive here either in their minivans and SUVs. They just appeared out of nowhere at the library where I had been searching for a new book to read. Even stranger was the fact that some of these new tourists weren’t even human! They aren’t from this time, this planet, this dimension, or this realm, either. “
⭐️ This printable and digital activity features custom videos, a fun suspect list, and an engaging detective theme – all built around a five-part story that students will love. Students will be on the edge of their seats as they work to decipher the clues and find out why there are visitors from another dimension, planet, and realm in the small town of Bayridge. Think they have the right suspect? Use the suspect cards to confirm suspicions or send students back to the field for more evidence.
