Coded Word Bible Activities for Children

A coded word puzzle or activity is one in which symbols, typically numbers, are used to represent letters. Working the puzzle involves replacing the symbols with appropriate letters to determine the intended words or the message the symbols represent. Such activities help kids develop reading and writing skills in a fun and entertaining way.
