The Easter bunny has been murdered by another bunny! Possibly a jealous or overworked one.
There are 5 clues (a couple with science themes) for the teams to figure out to lead them to the final clue. When they have completed the puzzle, they can begin crossing suspects off the list to find the killer!
There really is minimal effort required from the teacher. Set it up, introduce the murder and let them compete. Just tick the team’s box when they have finished each clue and advance the slide to give the answer when the time runs out.
Includes:
PowerPoint presentation leading pupils through the Case brief and clues. Also includes answers.

Crossword sheet and answers for clue 2.

NB: Clue 3 is found in the presentation so you can edit the names if you like! It is a classification key.
Up to 2 hours of christmas related activities with a fun challenge to appeal to all age groups and abilities.
