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!

This is such a fun resource! I bought the Thanksgiving themed one and did it with my students to see if they would enjoy it. To my excitement they did, so I purchased the entire bundle. Such a fun way to change up the daily routine with a fun reading activity. It was also fun to see many of my students really get into the acting part of it. We laughed a lot and had fun. Looking forward to using again.
