Join the Secret Clue Sleuths Club!
Do you love finding hidden patterns? Have you ever wanted to crack a secret code written on a scrambled note? If you enjoy using your brain to solve curious problems, then the Secret Clue Sleuths Club is looking for you!
The Secret Clue Sleuths is a brand-new after-school group created just for third-grade thinkers. Each week, our club members work together to tackle brand-new logic puzzles and solve playful classroom mysteries. In our meetings, you will not just sit quietly at a desk. Instead, you will test your observation skills, search for clues hidden in riddle poems, and share clever ideas with your teammates.
Every meeting features a unique challenge created by our student leader team. One week, you might use a grid chart to figure out which imaginary animal won the grand prize at a fantastical pet show. By matching up clues, like "the blue dragon did not finish first" and "the griffin finished before the unicorn," you will discover the true final score. Another week, you might become an art detective. You could inspect paper footprint trails across the room to discover which mischievous stuffed animal borrowed the teacher's favorite giant glitter pen.
