Set the stage with a note from the hot chocolate stand worker:
As we sat down,
For a cozy treat,
We discovered something,
Not so sweet.
The cocoa was missing.
It all disappeared.
Who could have taken it?
A critter we feared.
Complete each challenge,
To receive a clue.
Read each one,
And find out who!
After the students complete each challenge, they will receive a clue from the culprit. A suspect will be eliminated after each challenge. Once all of the winter centers have been completed, they will have eliminated all but one suspect!

Prepped and ready for next year! We found these escapes in October and have been obsessed ever since!

This is a must buy! While you’re at it, buy them all!!!! I absolutely love this resource! I have bought them all so far and hope you continue to make more! I appreciate the variety in the activities and the skills that are covered. The skills get more challenging as the year goes on and match up very well to where my students are at! I am able to use the activities as a whole group, small groups, or even in partners. I seriously cannot say enough good things about these!

My students loved this activity! I planned to use it for our Polar Express/Christmas party day but we ended up being out of school. We did it the first Friday back in January and my students were SO engaged even my SPED students were working hard!
I would love a way to make the skills/challenges harder and more challenging but overall well worth my money!!
