DETECTIVE GAMES NEEDED URGENTLY!!
 
Hi my dear collegues!! I �m in desperate need of a fun, interesting detective game for the classroom.
 
My students are taking part of an inmersion course and the theme is "mission Impossible" (i imagine all of you hacve seen this movie..).
 
I need to introduce the topic in the classroom and have thought of a spy game or a detective game, in which students would have to solve a mistery among them or something like that, but I can �t find anything!!
 
Please help me!! Have you got any ideas??
 
Thanks in advance!
 
A really grateful teacher from Argentina...

Hi from Austria!
I �m not sure what age group you are referring to, but my kids enjoyed playing a game called "murder in the classroom" which is available for free at www.onstopenglish.com (generally an extremely useful site for teachers!) under http://www.onestopenglish.com/section.asp?docid=154249
 
It got them talking for quite a while...
 
Have fun with it!

I used to play a game when I was younger, but I can �t remember the title but it goes something like this:

1) One person must leave the room (The dectective)
2) One persons plays dead (or you can use a teddy)
3) Everyone in the room must decide who killed teddy
4) Once they have agreed the dectective returns into the room
5) The "Killer" must always lie
6) Everyone else must tell the truth
7) The detective can only ask yes or no questions and must find the "Killer"
