How to Play Crack the Code Game

Cut out the rectangle at the bottom of the page.

Player one makes the code by coloring in three boxes by choosing from 5 different colors (or choose from 5 different letters, numbers or shapes). Fold over the paper so player two can not see the code.

Player two guesses the code in the first row of the boxes. Player one responds by coloring in the box green if the guess was correct, red if the guess was incorrect and yellow if the guess was in the code but not in the correct box (or use a star for correct, ‘X’ for incorrect and check mark for correct but wrong box).

Optional: If you want to facilitate fine motor skill practice try using manipulatives to create the code such as bingo chips.

The object of the game is to crack the code in the fewest amount of guesses.
