Crack the Code

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a code-cracking activity where each letter of the alphabet is assigned a number from 1 to 26, correlating to its position in the alphabet. Students are given a series of numbers and must use the provided key to translate these numbers back into letters to form words. The title “Positive Affirmations” suggests that the words they decode will be encouraging or uplifting phrases. This is a decoding task that requires students to match numbers to their corresponding letters and arrange them into coherent words.

The worksheet is intended to teach students the relationship between letters and their sequential order in the alphabet. It enhances their problem-solving skills by challenging them to decipher codes. This activity also serves to reinforce numerical order and the concept of sequences. Moreover, by decoding positive affirmations, it can also be a fun way to boost students’ morale and integrate literacy with positive psychological concepts.
