Looking for a fun and engaging way to celebrate Halloween with your students? The Halloween Mystery: The Case of the Missing Candy Cauldron is the perfect activity for the spooky season! This hands-on, interactive mystery is designed to keep students excited and thinking critically as they solve puzzles and uncover the culprit behind the stolen candy cauldron at the annual Monster Halloween Bash.

Background Story: Every year, the monsters—Frankenstein, Dracula, werewolves, ghosts, zombies, and witches—gather for the Annual Halloween Monster Bash, a highly anticipated event where they enjoy spooky fun, games, and candy. This year, however, something went terribly wrong. As the monsters were dancing and enjoying the festivities, the cauldron filled with candy mysteriously disappeared! The cauldron is the heart of the Monster Bash, and without it, the party can't go on. Someone had stolen the candy, and it was up to the students to find out which monster was responsible before Halloween was ruined!

Suspect List: Students will be introduced to six classic Halloween monsters who attended the party, and any one of them could be the candy thief. The suspects include:

1. Limping Larry (the zombie)

3. Broomhilda (the witch)
4. Frank E. Stein (Frankenstein’s monster)
5. Baron Von Bat (the vampire)
6. Spook E. Doo (the ghost)

Each monster has a unique personality, motive, and evidence that students will use to narrow down the suspects as they solve puzzles. Could it have been Frank E. Stein, who wanted to share the candy with his monster friends? Or maybe Baron Von Bat, who just wanted to show off by stealing the cauldron?
Puzzle Types:The activity includes four different types of Halloween-themed puzzles and ciphers that students will need to solve to gather clues. Each puzzle reveals new information, helping students cross off suspects from their list. The puzzles are designed to engage students while promoting problem-solving skills. Examples of puzzles include:

• Word puzzles: Using letters and numbers to unlock clues.

How It Works: This activity is designed to be versatile and adaptable to various classroom settings. It can be completed independently, used as a fast finisher activity, or done as a group project where students collaborate to solve the mystery together. It can also serve as a fun way to celebrate Halloween in the days leading up to the holiday.

Why Teachers Will Love It:
