Morse Code Game – Secret Message Activity

Students decode a short phrase written in Morse code.

Students encode an original message into Morse code, following three required content elements (a compliment, a question, and a self-identifying clue).

Pair this activity with a Morse code alphabet reference chart, since the extracted page does not show a full letter-to-symbol key.

Model the sample decoding practice as a class before releasing students to write their own message.

Have students trade encoded messages with a partner to decode as a follow-up activity.

Morse code encoding — students translate an original sentence into dots and dashes, following the activity's convention of writing punctuation directly.

Morse code decoding — students translate a printed dot-dash phrase back into English.
