Keep pupils engaged during the final weeks of the school year with this fun and flexible Summer Code Breaker Challenge. This printable KS2 resource (Lower KS2 suitable) invites children to crack a summer-themed message using a simple code system, with three differentiated levels to support and stretch learners.

This activity encourages problem-solving, logical thinking, attention to detail, and persistence, while keeping the theme light, seasonal and engaging.
