Description
Our fun and engaging “Whodunnit” readers’ theaters are the perfect activities for your students! This bundle includes 7 holiday-themed mysteries:
- Back to School – Who’s Our Teacher?
- Halloween – Who Swiped the Spells?
- Thanksgiving – Who Stole the Turkey?
- Christmas – Who Stole Santa’s List?
- Valentine’s Day – Who Left Us Cupcakes?
- St. Patrick’s Day – Who’s Making Mischief?
- End of Year – Who Freed the Fish?
In these activities, students will learn to become detectives and then use their sleuthing skills to figure out what happened! With lots of suspects and circumstantial evidence, the students will have to take good notes, make lots of inferences, and think like a real detective in order to solve the mystery! This product was created with upper elementary students in mind, but it can definitely be scaled to work with other grade levels as well.

Having the Reader’s Theater is the perfect platform for integrating real academic skills. This activity will feel like a fun day, but not a moment of the day will be wasted!
These mystery readers’ theaters are great because:
- They’re super engaging
- They target real skills to help students grow in reading and writing
- They help students enhance their inferencing skills
- There’s very little prep!
- If you choose the digital script, along with your projector, you do not have to make a copy for each student. The font is very large so that students can read their lines from across the room.
Great for 4th, 5th, or 6th grade!

My students absolutely LOVE these and now they are all obsessed with making their own whodunnits on Google slides. I wish they were editable so I could change the names to my students names, but they are super engaging and fun regardless of that!

This was fun but because my students are slow/struggling/shy readers it took us almost 3 class periods to get through it. Overall very cute resource.

My students love these holiday reader’s theaters. I really like how the digital version provides fun pictures of the characters and lets the students know who is going to read next. My students enjoy solving the mysteries and sharing their ideas behind each characters motive, means, and opportunity.

Thanks Rachel! These were so engaging, and the students practiced so many good ELA skills – reading fluency, reading comprehension, and critical thinking.
