Veterans Day Mystery Challenge | 3 Mystery Pixel Games + Reading Passage

Honor Veterans Day with three self-checking review games your students will race to finish! Students answer 10 questions to slowly reveal a hidden pixel-art picture. Each correct answer uncovers another piece of the mystery.

What's included

• Assignment 1: Why November 11? How the World War I armistice at the "eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month" became Armistice Day, and then Veterans Day.
• Assignment 2: The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier How the Unknown Soldier was chosen, the "known but to God" inscription, and the 1998 DNA identification.
• Assignment 3: The Sentinels What it takes to become a Tomb Guard: volunteering, memorizing nearly 300 grave locations, and earning one of the rarest badges in the U.S. military.
• Reading passage with numbered paragraphs. Every answer in all three games can be found in the reading.
• Two Google Sheets versions: With Word Bank (used words cross out automatically) and No Word Bank.
• No-tech printable: a front/back assignment with the reading passage on the front and all 30 questions on the back, in word bank and no word bank versions.
• Teacher guide with make-a-copy links, Google Classroom steps, FAQ, and answer keys showing each finished mystery picture.

Why teachers love it

• No prep. Make a copy and assign it in Google Classroom.
• Self-checking, so students get instant feedback.
• Capitalization, spaces, and punctuation don't count against students.
• Works as a Veterans Day lesson, an early-finisher activity, or a sub plan.
