These 8 Printable Secret Codes & Ciphers are the ultimate in DIY Spy Party Games for your James Bond! All the hard work has already been done for you.
You simply type regular text into each of the 8 Top Secret Messages. Your text will automatically be encrypted to match the corresponding Cipher!
You now have a Top Secret Message that can only be decoded with the associated Cipher!
Type new messages and print as many times as you like.
I have used these as an activity at my son’s Spy birthday party AND also afterwards as clues to be deciphered leading children from one location to another as part of a Secret Agent “treasure hunt”.
I recommend these Printable Secret Codes & Ciphers for ages 8-13+. Children at the lower end of that range will need adult help.
