NCM is situated on the lands of the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people. We pay respects to them, especially their Elders and storytellers, as well as all First Peoples, nationwide. NCM acknowledges that communication technologies have a long history here, far longer than European occupation.

Add-on | Spy Activity

These activity sheets allow us to tailor a guided but fun way to direct students to relevant objects, people or subjects for your students to learn about.

Students become NCM Bureau of Investigation agents and are assigned dossiers with clues about their targets and a series of questions to answer when they find them. Working in teams, the students can compete to see which team can find all the intel first and emerge as the top spy team!

An additional $50 per 30 students
Please note, if you’d like to add the Spy Activity sheet to your experience, select this as an add-on in the Enquiry Form.
