Ode to Cryptograms

Why I love cryptograms

1) They take less than two minutes to make.

2) They can be easily differentiated – give away fewer or more letters, combine with anagrams, give different pupils different sentences

3) Most kids love them

4) much more fun as a settling activity for a noisy lower ability class than a word search.

5) You can put them into worksheets or powerpoints easily.

6) I even make them on my mobile sometimes! 2 minutes for a ten minute plus activity…

This is a cryptogram! To make one, visit Discovery Educations puzzle maker website. Type in a French phrase, choose which letters to give away and voila!

Pupils have to crack the code to unjumble to sentence.
