There is something magical about trying to decipher an unknown code. Today I created a secret code by using the WingDings font. Their fun and easy.
1. Type the alphabet twice, one on top of the other.
2. Change the top line WingDings font and leave and the bottom line the regular font.
3. Type a message that you want to be decoded and change it to WingDings.
4. Underneath each letter of the message, type a few connected underscore marks for the boys to write the letter when they discover it.
The fun thing was that I could choose any message I wanted. I purposefully kept the messages simple, but I also wanted to reinforce messages of my choice. If you want to look at my codes or print them out, click here. My messages were:
- I love Jesus
- Do your best
- I can pray
- God loves me
The Wolf book gives some great ideas for using a secret code. The nice thing about their suggestions is that is can easily be replicated by the boys. That was the main fault of the code I used.
