Hi everyone! This is an easy cluedo game I use for my project about detective stories. I split the class into two groups: on the one hand, the suspects and, on the other hand, the detectives. The students have to find out who killed Dobby. The two culprits can give the alibi and the place they want but the others have to stick to what´s written on the card. In the end, the investigators put everything in common and this way, they know who lied to them. Hope it´s useful!:)

Harry Potter Cluedo

Take one person, one room and one weapon and place them in an envelope where nobody can see them. Distribute the other cards out between the teams randomly. The teams of 2 or 3 must guess who the murderer is, where they murdered and with what weapon. 

Teams take turns to ask questions to the other teams, during which everyone else can collect evidence and eliminate potential suspects, weapons etc... 

However, they can't ask a direct question, ie. What cards do you have? Is it Professor Plum? Do you have a knife? This forces students to cask indirect questions such as "Do you have the man who works in a hospital?". 

Each team gets one chance to make a guess at who/what/where and can do so at any time. If they are correct then they win the game, otherwise they are out but they carry on answering questions for the other teams until somebody guesses correctly or all teams are out.

Cluedo Game Cards

WHO - WHAT - WHERE - ???



This is a great game for kids but it takes some explanation and some preparation.



Everything you need for this game is included in this Word document. 



There are reverse sides for all 24 cards.

The check lists for the teams are on page 7.

The rules to the game are on page 8.



(Email me if you want the rules in Thai.)



Who is eating the food? What food are they eating? Where are they eating the food?



There are eight people... (Blue cards)

There are eight foods... (Green cards)

There are eight rooms in the house... (Red cards)



Try to find out who is eating what and where!

(Only the teacher knows the answer)



"Is Jane eating a slice of pizza in the bedroom?"



If the team has any of the three cards in your question they must show you only ONE of the cards.

When you see the card you can cross it off the list because you know that the teacher does not have that card.

When you think you know the three cards that the teacher has you can ask him a question...

The question can be like this...



"Teacher... I think that Susan is eating popcorn in the kitchen."



If you are right you win the game.

If you are wrong you lose and you cannot ask the teacher again.

(BE CAREFUL: You can only ask the teacher ONE TIME!)

CLUE (Cluedo) for KIDS!

Today, we are going to solve a crime. Yesterday afternoon, a man stole a briefcase on the street. You are going to find out who did it and what the person looked like. If you are A, you are the police officer; if you are B, you are the witness. You need to describe the criminal' apperance by asking questions. 



If you notice the other ws I uploaded, I have adapted the game to the topic I am teaching recently which is about describing looks. 

Describing Apperance Cluedo Game 

Description:

This is a great activity for students to practise past continuous tense in a fun way. Students will get cards with names, places and weapons. They will go ask everyone else what they have by using a dialog. Similar to the cluedo games. I changed it slightly. The structure, the dialog, and the role play cards are completely on my own. ************************************************************* This is the link to the role play cards ********************************************** Example dialog If the person has a name, he should say the name on the card instead of their own names. If not, they can say what their name is. Names

B: My name is Tim (the seven names). *

A: So, Tim, What were you doing yesterday afternoon from 3 pm to 5 pm?*
