How to Make a Detective Board

Today you will make your own detective board that will help you catch the criminal. Below you will find instructions

Here's a list of equipment that you will need:

Equipment

• Whatman
• Markers
• Glue stick

Materials

• Photos of suspects
• Sticky notes

First you need to study the case carefully again to pay attention to the details. Who knows? Maybe you missed something....

This will be a profile picture with a description of the person and how they are related to the case i.e. are they a victim, a suspect, a potential lead? Etc. Use your sticky notes to write down important information, such as names of suspects, pieces of evidence, and potential motives.You can follow this template used, or feel free to create your own.

Name:

Profile/Traits:

Alibi/Connection to case:

Evidence:

Place your evidence

There’s no real order in how to place your evidence on the board so feel free to place them wherever you’d like. 

Draw connections: Use your colored pens or markers to draw connections between the different sticky notes. For example, you might draw a line between a suspect and a piece of evidence that links them to the crime.

Here is your board. You can add more evidence if we find any, now the only thing left to do is figure out the missing link! I hope it helps you catch the criminal. Good luck!
