Teacher Tips:
It's easy for students (and adults) to inadvertently look at their "hidden" suspect card when it is in their hand. We suggest using the game box in the middle of the playing space to hold the suspect cards for each person so they are not in their actual hand.
This game has been enjoyed by 2nd graders and high school students! It's a great deductive logic game. If you feel your students need more support or would benefit from hands on manipulatives you could try Cat Crimes (or Dog Crimes). If your students are up for more of a challenge check out Turing Machine.
