We have had three Mystery Skypes.  They were with Wyoming, Florida, and Ohio.  Mystery Skype is a game when both classes try to find each others location.  The first class to find the location of the other class wins.  Once they both find each others location we tell facts and ask questions about the states.

Wyoming was our first Mystery Skype.  We found out it was with the Wyoming State Museum.  The teacher at the museum told us a lot of history about the museum.  There was a lot of ancient stuff.

Florida was our second Mystery Skype.  It was our first Skype with a real class.  Their school was in Wauchula.  We learned that it is always raining or humid in Florida.  They were a fourth grade class.

Ohio was our third Mystery Skype and our second real class.  We found out their location first.  They were a fifth grade class just like us.  When we knew each others locations we shared facts and asked questions.

Our experience with Mystery Skype so far is awesome!  We have Skyped two classes and one museum.  We love Mystery Skype so far.  It is great to meet new classes in different states.  We hope we Skype with every state!

Mystery Skype is where you Skype classes and figure out what state they are in.  It is like a game, who gets the state right first wins.  Mystery Skype is fun because you can meet real people anywhere.

Our first Skype we met this guy named Nathan.  We guessed his state right, it was Wyoming.  He asked if we lived in Wyoming too, but we said no.  Nathan told us about his job.  He works at a museum.  He told us about Wyoming and Yellowstone National Park.

When we had our first Skype it was fun and exciting.  Mystery Skype is fun because we get to talk to other people from different places we haven’t been before.

Mystery Skype is where you can call someone through a website.  You can video call a classroom or just a teacher in general.  So how you can do the game Mystery Skype is, you try to guess the state the classroom or teacher is in.  You say things like, “do you border California?”

Not long ago, my classroom Skyped with a teacher named Nathan in a museum.  It was pretty cool because after we guessed where Nathan was (Wyoming State Museum) he told us lots of information.  In Wyoming, there are geysers and a bunny that changes different colors over time.  The bunny was adorable.  In the museum there was this hat made of feathers.  The feathers represented a good thing the chief has done.

In my opinion, I absolutely love Mystery Skype.  It is so much fun.  Mystery Skype takes about 30 minutes.  But that 30 minutes is worth it because it is so much fun, I can’t explain all of the details! That’s how much fun it is!

If you could Skype with anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?
