What is Mystery Skype? Mystery Skype is when two or more schools connect on Skype, and each class asks 20 yes or no questions in hopes of finding out where the other school is located. OCTOBER 26, 2015 Our first Mystery Skype ended up being from an elementary school in Illinois. We ended up guessing that they were from Illinois before they guessed that we were from Wisconsin. We asked each other questions from the Global Read Aloud (Fish In A Tree) which we both are reading. We talked about our towns and our hobbies. The look on the Illinois kids faces when we said we didn't have stop lights, fast food places and had to travel an hour to get to the mall was PRICELESS. We hope to do this activity again because it is great for increasing geography skills, critical thinking and collaborating with classmates.
