About this template
Use them for a pirate or detective party, a classroom topic, a family joke about the cat who steals socks, or a game where children hunt for a "suspect". There are two A4 versions: a party poster with a big picture box and a short list of details, and a story-character version for lessons, with space for evidence from the text. Both come as a blank and a filled-in example, in Word and PDF. The yellow and red colours stand out on a wall and still print cleanly at home.
Questions
Is this for real missing people or lost pets?
No. It is a playful design for games and lessons. For a real missing person, contact the police. For a lost pet, use a clear "lost pet" notice instead.
Can children fill it in?
Yes. The blank PDF works with pens and pencils, and the picture box is large enough for a drawing.
Can I change the colours?
The Word file uses a fixed yellow or red accent, but you can recolour the picture box and headings in Word.
How do I use the story version in class?
Pick a character from the book you are reading and ask pupils to find evidence for each field. The example shows how.
