This resource is designed as an interactive mystery activity aimed at enhancing grammar skills through a detective-themed storyline. Students will work in teams at six different stations, each focusing on a specific grammar topic such as complete sentences, verb tenses, adjectives, conjunctions, prepositions, and conditional statements. At each station, they will complete tasks and puzzles that require them to apply their grammatical knowledge to decode clues, fix sentences, arrange events chronologically, and make deductions.

Through this engaging and collaborative format, students deepen their understanding of grammar while developing teamwork and problem-solving skills.
