Instructions

Send a message across the area using torch light and morse code.

Team to interpret signal by letter and using another code transfer the letter to a number.

Choose your outcome:
# Lockable Boxes containing Sweets
When 6 letters have been send by morse code and changed into numbers, the team should be able to open the locked box using the number code to win some sweets!


# Send a Message
1. Give each group a cut-out message and a Decoding Sheet
2. Transmit the message from one half of the group to the other

To avoid them guessing letters (and make the activity take a bit longer) separate the Decoding Table from the Decoding Sheet and only give it to them once they've decoded.

Filler:
If a group finishes really early, or you want to carry the activity on - have them compose their own message to send. Or to try having a conversation!
