Make your own murder mystery using the students in your class!
The puzzle can be repeated and reused lesson after lesson.
The spreadsheet will randomise the order of the students names and generate a different set of questions every time.
Insert at least 24 student names into the first tab. Tip: If you have less than 24 students then make up the numbers by using teachers in the school!
There are spaces for up to 34 names.
Click “Generate Questions” and the program will randomly select 24 names from the list.
Six of your students are potentially the victim, another six are linked to the location, another six are linked to the murder weapon, and of course, six are potential suspects.
Students have to answer the questions to find out the victim, the murderer, the location, and the murder weapon. Ask them to write a short paragraph describing their findings. Of course they can always embellish the story by adding a motive!
This is one of the first in a series of murder mysteries I’m producing. This one covers medium percentage of amounts - many percentages are multiples of five, with the rest anywhere between 1% and 99%, and most of the amounts will give whole number answers, with a few of the hardest ones giving decimal answers. Watch out for my other murder mysteries on arithmetic, percentages, negative numbers, and more!
