Crime Busters

5 Volunteers Needed






How To:

  • Children are brought into the crime scene
  • They are given an Evidence Card & told to find 4 pieces of evidence.  They must find and tape to their Card: 3 different fingerprints, Hair Evidence, and take note of the footprint Evidence.
  • After they have gathered their evidence they go to the Clue Board or Crime Lab Table and decide what specific evidence they have found (i.e. dog, cat, or human hair?)
  • They then read the suspects statements, compare fingerprints, and, through process of elimination, decide “Who Done It!”
  • Students may work collectively.  The teacher may help.  When their time is up, they will collectively vote on “Who Done It.”   If they are correct, they will receive a prize at the awards assembly.
  • As they are leaving the room, kids will leave thumbprint behind on cardstock.  This can become a “find your fingerprint” when they get back to the class at the end of the day.
