A fun resource for primary school aged learners and KS3! This resource should be used on completion of the book: Gangsta Granny. This resource includes: 10 clues, an instruction and answer sheet and clue answer sheet. Split your class into teams of 4 - 6. Ideally you will need two classrooms as each team will hide the clues for the other team in a separate room. If you can only use one classroom then split the room in half. Each team will hide the other team’s clues and then each team will have to locate all the clues in order to solve the code! Further Instructions • There are 10 clues hidden around the room. • You need to locate all 10 clues and then you need to solve them in order from 1 – 10. • The first 8 clues will reveal a letter of the alphabet that you must note down on your answer sheet. When you have all of the letters noted down, you will then unscramble the letters to reveal a phrase (two words). This phrase is related to the book. • The final clues will reveal 2 separate numbers. You will multiply these numbers to reveal a 3-digit number. This will be the last part of the code. • Once you have both codes, you will then be able to escape from the Tower of London. All clues are based on the book and learners will have to use their skimming and scanning techniques to look for the answers in their reading books.
