🎃 Classroom Example: Halloween Cryptogram
For this activity, I created a Halloween-themed worksheet using words such as Halloween, candy, pumpkin, costume, and ghost.
I also like using vocabulary from students' textbooks. They can look through their word lists while decoding the secret messages, getting extra spelling practice along the way!
