Play & Practice

Message in a Picture Code

A small picture-code adventure gives clear messages a playful purpose. Explore symbols, sequence and the difference between what a message says and what you expected. The visible key keeps useful information available, so children can check and repair an idea with a partner instead of having to memorise the code. Four optional ways to play let you choose a comfortable challenge and change it together.
