ANSWERS

How to use this resource
The easiest way to present some of the activities in the PDF format, like the mysteries and writing races, is to show them on your screen. The answers to the brainteaser stories have been placed on separate pages to avoid spoilers ruining the fun of being a detective! The writing races could be completed on scraps of paper from the recycling bin.

Some of the activities, such as the anagrams, mix and match riddles and number to words activities need to be photocopied. To promote classroom spirit and to save on photocopying, these activities could be completed in pairs. Again, to reduce the required amount of photocopying, you could put all of the answer keys up on your screen.

The Internet is not required for any of the games.
