CRYPTOFUN

A game word for students to work with their critical and creative thinking based on clues

1. Download the file and make copies for students. The second page has the answers, you do not need to print that. I’ll include them here at the end.

2. Distribute the worksheet and ask students what they think they are going to do based on what they see ‘letters and numbers’

3. Tell students this activity is called, ‘cryptogram’ a puzzle to solve by converting numbers into letters. The focus of this activity is to exercise language awareness (structure, vocabulary, and grammar) and acquire some general knowledge about quotes of famous individuals in the process.

4. Draw students’ attention towards the text to be completed and ask them to get the letter numbers into the box and vice-versa to discover the quote that is hidden.

5. Ask students to work individually and set a time limit, a short one preferably, so you can set another one for them to finish the activity in pairs.

6. Once students finish the first activity, they will work faster with the next two.

7. Decide if you want to award them point to the first students who finish, the ones who get the answers right and/or the ones who can talk about the quotes.

8. Answers:

If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.

Nelson Mandela

I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.

You must be the change you wish to see in the world.
