Spot the Lie: True or False Evidence Puzzle and Who Is Fibbing?
Children check statements against evidence, a drawing of museum shelves, and mark each true or false. They fix the false ones. A final puzzle gives three suspects, two telling the truth and one fibbing, and children work out who the fibber is by checking each claim against the others.
