Mystery Skype
Time: Prior to actual Mystery Skype Meeting
Duration: 30-45 min
Goal: To find out the location of the other class using 20
questions or more (depending on time constraints)
•Each class prepares 20 yes/no- questions to ask the other class and 4
clues to give the other class in advance (suggestions below).
• When connected one class asks 5 questions and if the others can't
figure out the answer they get a clue.
Students use devices to search for information on their location
• Then it's the other class' turn to do the same.
• The classes takes turns asking until the 20 questions are up -then
they can tell each other where they are.
Sample roles:
• Greeters- say hello and tell something about the class without
giving away the location
• Inquirers - ask the questions
• Question Keepers - keep track of the questions and answers
OneNote or Google documents for collaborative feature
• Mappers - use atlas, Google maps, etc. to zero in on the clues

camera or photos
