Our class is beginning a unit called "Mystery Stories."  We will be reading several mystery stories, including one based entirely on pictures, and an article about how a popular mystery writer creates her novels.
Through a variety of classroom activities, we will be learning about the elements of a mystery story, the language of mystery stories, and how to write a good mystery.
Here are some mini-mystery riddles you can enjoy:

1. In which month do people eat the least?
2. There was a green house. Inside the green house there was a white house.  Inside the white house there was a red house.  Inside the red house there were lots of babies.
3. What five-letter English word does not change its pronunciation when four letters are taken away?
4. There is a thing that nothing is, and yet it has a name.  It's sometimes long and sometimes short, Joins our talks, joins our sport, And plays at every game.
5. You discard the outside and cook the inside.  Then you eat the outside and discard the inside.
