Halloween Codes

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a Halloween-themed code-breaking activity where students use a key to decipher words. The key is an alphabet where each letter is matched with a Halloween-related symbol. Students must use this key to translate a series of symbols back into letters to uncover words related to the Halloween theme. Each line of symbols represents a different word that the students will reveal by writing the corresponding letters on the provided lines.

The goal of this worksheet is to reinforce the students’ knowledge of the alphabet by associating each letter with a symbol, and then using this association to decode words. It engages the students in a fun and thematic cryptogram puzzle that enhances their problem-solving and critical thinking skills. This activity also encourages pattern recognition, as students must identify the symbols that match each letter consistently throughout the exercise. Additionally, the Halloween context can make the learning process more engaging, tying in cultural themes with educational content.
