Easter Fun - Secret Code Wheel
A super-fun activity for your students during Easter. Make the secret code wheel and use it to decipher some Easter jokes. Then use the secret code wheel to write your own secret messages.
Included:
♦ Secret code wheel template
♦ Teacher notes
♦ 12 Easter jokes to decipher (answers included)
♦ Various Easter themed templates for your students to write secret messages on
How it works:
Turn the inner wheel so that the ‘code ear’ is pointing to the letter of the alphabet that you see in the mystery code writing. Look at the letter of the alphabet that the ‘answer ear’ is pointing to and write it down. Continue in this way until all of the letters in the mystery code have been deciphered.
What you need:
All you need is a split pin (otherwise known as a brad pin), or alternatively just use a push-pin and attach it to a pin board or something soft like an eraser. It works fine with paper if you don’t have a supply of card.

2 different sets of cards:

* without lines
Please remember that these are handwriting cards, not detailed information cards about each person. I could only fit about 3 sentences on each card which is obviously not enough to outline everything that you may consider important. They are however, a great starting point for further research if you are learning about NZ history makers.
Early finishers could research further information if you have digital devices available.
Keywords: famous New Zealanders, New Zealand history makers, well known New Zealanders, famous Kiwis.
