It's a snowy winter evening when one of Santa's gingerbread men has been found crushed. Santa Claus is upset and cannot deliver his presents until the mystery has been solved. As a detective you will interview characters like Elves, Gingerbread men & women, Reindeers and more! It's up to you to figure out who did it. The longer we wait, the colder and darker winter gets. Can you help save Christmas before it's too late?

If your girl loves mystery themed novels and detective shows, then she will love this program! This experience will give her the chance to test her critical thinking skills in hypothetical situations based in fantasy and reality. Girls will learn how to excel in puzzles and riddles that involve colors, wordplay, shapes, and math. Throughout the activity, girls will be encouraged to share and debate hypotheses with other girl scouts to work together to solve the mystery before the program ends.

Learning Goals:

- Improve pattern recognition ability and reasoning ability through various puzzles

- Distinguish between linear vs. non linear puzzles

- Develop strategies to maximize time

- Learn to think like a puzzle writer

- Learn to make the seemingly "invisible" answer, visible
