It's time for a little detective work! Visitors to Pine Park notice that things keep disappearing. Figure out what the missing objects have in common, and try to discover the thief before Lan and Jeff do in the play The Pine Park Mystery, by Tracey West. (Hint - there's a good clue on this page!)

Your child can review and practice the vocabulary words and definitions for The Pine Park Mystery by clicking the Java Games link in the Quia activities section below. It may be helpful to print out the list of terms (vocabulary words and meanings) from the game choices page so your child can refer to them as needed during practice. Once your child can easily match the words and definitions, try playing the Columns Game where vocabulary words are used in the context of sentences.
