Daily Idea #86: Decoder

My kids have been making up their own language (think gibberish but without any rules). So to play off of that idea of speaking in code we made a decoder today.

To start:

Write out the whole ABC’s

Next:

Pick a letter from the top line from where to start your next line of ABC

Then:

Match each letter in bottom row to the a letter in the top row

After that:

When you get to Z on the top row go back to the A and continue the rest of the ABC’s

Then:

Pick a word or a sentence that you want to code

Finally:

Follow the top line of the ABC’s and match each letter to create your code.
