💌🕵️‍♀️ VALENTINE’S DAY CHALLENGE! 🕵️‍♂️💌 
I am SO 💌🕵️‍♀️ VALENTINE’S DAY CHALLENGE! 🕵️‍♂️💌

I am SO excited to share this with you and your students! In this mystery challenge, your class will watch a short video to kick off the case of the Missing Valentine Bags. Their mission? Find out who took them, when they took them, and where they hid them!

To crack the case, students complete 9 task cards aligned to first grade math + ELA skills. Each completed card earns them a clue… and once they collect all 9 clues, they can officially SOLVE the mystery! 🙌

As a fun ending, there are crowns + awards and a little story reveal about what really happened to the bags! PLUS,  there’s a bonus craft to turn white bags into adorable Valentine robots! 🤖💗

This escape room style activity is now also available on Google Slides for easy digital use. Perfect for Valentine’s Day parties, centers, or a whole class adventure! 
I have them for K, 1, or 2!

❤️ Comment VALENTINE and I’ll send you the link! ❤️

"My f“rst graders enjoyed the Valentine's Da’ mystery. They were engaged and had so much fun! They asked if we could do different mysteries for each holiday/ season. I will be purchasing more solve the mystery. It was a total hit! "

“T“ese are always my favorite. I love doing these with my class. This is a great way to have fun while practicing what we've l’arned. I always put my students in groups for this.”

“My students LOVE these activities!  I have broken the centers up between two days and they get really excited when they complete a center and get to see the clue!  I also purchased small magnifying glasses and fake mustaches for them to wear while we are doing these centers so they can be "dete“tives”. Thank you for creating this resource!”

"One of my favorite resources I have purchased and use daily. Kids are in a routine and are successful. "

"My students enjoy working on the math calendar for their morning work. The repetitiveness has helped them to retain information. "

“My students loved this resource, and so did I!  It was a great way to start our mornings and gave my students a fun way to complete our daily calendar work.”

“My students love the routine that these packets provide.  We have added writing the date "the short way" as we call it.  We talk about the month as a proper noun and why it is capitalized then we talk about what number goes with the month.  I love the review of math skills and the money piece.”

During this special day, students rotate through activities that celebrate the number 100 while practicing real math skills, reading, writing, and teamwork. There are centers, crafts, a snack, a door banner, and so many hands-on ways to keep students engaged and moving. We dress up, count collections, build, estimate, write, and create keepsakes that families adore. It’s a day students talk about for the rest of the year!
