NOWAY Academy Haunted House Mystery Activity Pack

NOWAY Academy Haunted House Mystery Activity Pack

Supply teacher friendly | Intervention friendly | Years 3–6

A mysterious house. Unusual footprints. A photograph that raises more questions than it answers.

Give pupils something to investigate, talk about and write about with this ready-to-use NOWAY Academy activity pack. Three short videos introduce the mystery, with reading, writing, maths and art activities that you can use for a full day, a single lesson or a focused intervention session.

The teaching steps, timings, examples and answers are included, so you can spend less time working out what to do next.

Intervention friendly: choose one skill and use the supported tasks for a short individual or small-group session.

Whole-class friendly: build a day of linked activities or select the lesson that fits your timetable.

No screen or photocopier? Use the printed stills or read the story aloud, then let pupils work in books or on paper. Most activities need only pencils, paper and a board.
