Short Description:
Learn how to incorporate local history into exciting teen mystery lock-ins! Develop your own programs using puzzles and clues to create opportunities to explore history in a hands-on environment.
Long Description:
For the last few summers, teens at the Plaza Branch of the Kansas City Public Library have solved murders and robberies – while learning real historical facts. Using primary resources from the Library’s Missouri Valley Room Archives, these lock-ins allowed teens to immerse themselves in local historical crimes while exploring the ambiance and language of the past.
Takeaways of this presentation will include a timeline for planning a historical teen program, examples of puzzles and mysteries, an outline for a teen mystery lock-in, as well as examples of handouts and marketing. Attendees will leave with practical strategies for creating their own historical mysteries, using the resources available in their libraries and communities.
