Detective Activities

After the students participated in the Mystery Dress Up Game (instructions below), we created our very our LDC Guess Who Game- the guessing game! Is your person wearing a hat? Does your person have blue eyes? Students will delight in asking questions about an opponent's mystery staff/student. The first player to guess their opponent’s mystery character correctly, wins the game!

Feel free to play the actual game, use pictures of the staff (below) and/or have the family dress up and play.

Skills that can be worked on while playing Guess Who?:

• Fine Motor: grasping cards and reaching for question icons

• Communication: answer yes/no with cards, choice making and attending to pictures

Watch the Fine Motor Adaptation video for some homemade ideas for inexpensive adaptations for fine motor tasks.

For one of our OT games, we had the students participate in a mystery dress up game! This activity is designed to help us create a classroom themed game of Guess Who?

To play, we had them either roll a dice with the different icons on it or had them spin a spinner using a switch to select what item they would need to wear.

The mystery prop is a random item that we wrapped up and that the student had to unwrap and use during their photo shoot.

Have fun by participating in a dress up game at home! This is a great way to work on choice making, fine motor, and dressing skills!
