When I was a kid, I loved leaving secret messages to my friends and family. Let’s explore together 3 amazing secret codes that will help you write a coded letter!

1.  Reverse the Words

This is a simple code to solve – just read the words backwards!  Even though it seems simple once you know the secret, it can be a hard one to figure out when you don’t.

2.  Read Every Second Letter

Read every second letter starting at the first letter, and when you finish, start again on the letters you missed.

3.  PigPen

The PigPen code is easier than it looks and it is my favorite.  First, draw out the two grids below and fill in the letters:

Each letter is represented by the lines around it (or pigpen).

You can practice to write your name and silly words before moving to coding whole sentences.

The letters and messages you can write can be fun, but make sure you send along a key so the recipient can figure it all out!
