Learning and Fun

Crime Scene Kids! Elements of the Crime is an interactive group activity for small groups of 6 to 10 people ages Grade 5 and up. Kids work through the 31 different clues and determine the six different Elements of the Crime: who is the victim, when was the crime, where did it happen, what was the weapon, who is the culprit and what was the motive.

Not only is this a challenging activity but it is a lot of fun and it promotes educational goals that may be part of your states required curriculum. This activity:
 

  • Requires recognizing main ideas presented in texts, identifying and assessing evidence that supports those ideas.
  • Involves drawing inferences, conclusions, or generalizations about text and supporting them with textual evidence and prior knowledge.
  • Depends on distinguishing among facts, supported inferences, and opinions in text.
  • Calls for interpreting a speaker's verbal and nonverbal messages, purposes, and perspectives.
  • Requires asking questions that seek information not already discussed.

This activity is fun and interactive! It's a fantastic way for students to practice listening, drawing conclusions, and working together in a team setting!
