The foundational deck in the Think Like a Detective series, teaching students to ask questions, look for clues and use their thinking. Be curious, ask questions, think deeper.
Turn critical thinking into a mystery-solving adventure with this engaging Kite & Bloom resource! The deck begins with a mini lesson that teaches students how to think critically before they begin the detective puzzles — including how to ask questions, look for clues, use evidence, make smart choices, and explain their reasoning.
Students then practise making inferences, identifying relevant evidence, spotting contradictions, solving mysteries, and explaining their thinking through fun, student-friendly detective challenges.
Designed to lead your lessons or supplement your daily literacy routine, it’s perfect for whole-class instruction, small groups, centres, early finishers, and building stronger critical thinking and reasoning skills. Includes an answer key for all challenges.
