Hi there,
I would like to introduce a murder mystery game in class. I already have a few ideas, but am counting on your help for more.
Basically, what it �ll be like is that I have 7 colleagues of mine cooperating (all English teachers). All of them are suspects in a murder case (the principal was killed). The students (all 85, but in groups of 4 or so) have to question them in between lessons, during breaks, etc. to find out who the murderer is. Suspects will not deal with students who question them in their mothertongue ;) This way, they also practice their speaking skills.
Every now and then they will be given a clue to come nearer to the culprit.
This would be an amazing and unforgettable way for the students to practice the following (besides speaking):
vocabulary concerning �crime �
grammar: reported speech and conditionals
In class they do exercises on the grammar topics whilst discussing their information gathered from my colleagues.
I can find many murder mystery stories on the internet, but not really suitable for teenagers in a school-environment. There are also some hereon eslprintables, but they �re only restricted to playing in class (with students being suspects) and not on a wider scale. Maybe you know of something that could be useful? Please, let me know.
When I have totally made up the lessons with worksheets, script cards for suspects, etc, I will certainly share this with you.
