St. Patrick’s Day Solve the Mystery – First Grade

I am so excited to share this St. Patrick’s Day Solve the Mystery activity with you and your students! You will begin this activity with a short video that will challenge your students to solve the case of the missing pot of gold. They will have to find out who took them, when they took them, and where they put them. To solve the case, students will work to complete 9 different task cards. The task cards are based on first-grade standards in both math and language arts. Once they complete a task card, they will receive a clue. After they have all 9 clues, they will be able to solve the mystery. As a fun culmination, there are awards and headbands. There is a fun little story ending to explain what happened. This goodie comes with a bonus writing extension. They can write about what they love more than gold or how to catch a leprechaun. This is similar to the who dunnit activities.
