Quick Description
This activity is fantastic!
Pupils solve a variety of well-constructed puzzles to break a series of codes.
Prior Knowledge
No prior knowledge required.
Instructions
-
Distribute one copy of Deutsch Handbuch for every two learners.
-
Each learner should have a copy of one of the easy, medium or hard booklets.
-
Tasks are self-explanatory, although I suggest that teachers briefly look at each code, particularly number 3, and keeps a copy of the answers (attached) with them whilst pupils are working.
