Rhinoceros Elementary School has a mystery on its hands. Someone has snatched a presidential portrait right before the school's history fair. Kids help solve the case by exploring the building, finding clues, solving puzzles and answering questions about history and the presidents. Do you know who was the first president to have electricity in the White House? Which president is known as the Father of the Constitution? An online database of presidential facts will help you answer these questions and more. Designed for classroom use, this engaging program asks more than 400 questions and a supplemental teachers' guide provides cross-curricular lesson plans, activities and resources. We loved the humor and the scavenger hunt format. As they explore, kids have to find requested items— jelly beans for a talking Reagan portrait and wedgie-proof underwear to thwart some bullies— for instance! This zany CD is both entertaining and educational.
