Spot the Plot

This week in the library I am playing a game using the book SPOT THE PLOT: A Riddle Book of Book Riddles.  This book is a phenomenal way to get the students thinking.  

This book is full of books without titles on the front.  There is a boy detective, a girl detective, and their 2 helpers; a dog and a cat.  Through the clues given, the reader helps them figure out which book it is!

We have been sitting in a circle on the floor.  I start reading the riddle and as soon as a hand goes up, I stop.  I roll them a ball and once they have it, they can give me their answer.  If they were wrong, I continue with the riddle.  I have been doing with with K-6.  They all have been doing a great job!

I am having the kids create their own book riddle to share next week.  

Here is a picture of one of the riddles from the book:

I hope you have the answer!
