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.
