Fun with Coded E-Cards

✨ Christmas Gift Cards with Coding the Future! 🎄
Today my students took part in a special activity within our Coding the Future project. Each child “adopted” one of the participating teachers’ classes and created a personalized Christmas gift card for them.
🖍️ With creativity, enthusiasm, and a touch of coding, the students wrote their holiday wishes using ROT3, transforming their messages into fun coded greetings for their international friends.
💌 This activity helped them explore the value of giving and empathy while connecting it to digital literacy and playful cryptography—showing how coding can make communication both meaningful and exciting.
We are truly proud of their work and the originality of their creations. Ready to spread some Christmas magic (in code!) across Europe! ✨🎁🌍

📬✨ Christmas Fun with Secret Codes! ✨📬
Today my students received a wonderful Christmas card from teacher Elisa Ceccarelli and her students from class 3B — written entirely in ROT3 code!
They had so much fun decoding the message and discovering the Christmas wishes hidden inside. 🎄🔐
A big thank-you to Elisa and her class for this creative and engaging surprise!

✨ Creating Animated E-Cards with Scratch! 💻🎄
Today I took my students to the computer lab, where they worked on a special digital project: creating their own animated e-cards using Scratch!
🌟 With creativity and curiosity, the children designed festive scenes, programmed simple animations, and added personalized messages to bring their cards to life. Scratch allowed them to mix coding with artistic expression in a fun and intuitive way.
💡 This activity helped them strengthen their digital skills, experiment with block-based coding, and experience the joy of creating something original.
I’m really proud of their enthusiasm and the wonderful Scratch e-cards they produced! 🎁✨

Today my students had a wonderful time decoding the Christmas greeting message sent by the students of Sonia Varelas and Maria Francisca Pessoa. Using a simple code, they turned into little detectives, working together to uncover the hidden holiday wishes.
They were excited, engaged, and proud of solving the coded e-card — a perfect mix of digital literacy, teamwork, and festive fun!
A big thank-you to our partner classes for this creative and meaningful activity! 🌟🎄

Coded E-Cards
Today we wrote creative Christmas gift cards using ROT3. We chose to write our holiday wishes to the students of teachers Maria Macera, Anna Teresa Fiori, Sonia & Maria Francisca and Paula & Maria Francisca.
Coding our messages, collaborating, drawing and coloring together was a fun experience for us!

We want to thank all of our friends for the wonderful coded e-cards that they have made. My students decoded the ecard that Anna Teresa's students made for us. They also decoded the card we received from Evi's Zarkada's students and the card from Jovita's students! They were so happy to decode the cards and find out what their friends wished for them!
Then they used Canva so as to make their coded christmas cards for their friends!

The students enthusiastically decoded the encrypted card created by the students of Nikoleta Gouliava from Eleftheroupoli, by matching each letter with the one located three positions earlier in the English alphabet. Afterwards, they created an animated card with sound using Scratch for all the students involved in the project. https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1255032652/editor/

WE THANK THE STUDENTS OF TEACHER MARIA MACERA
Maria Macera - ICS G. Carducci, Gaeta, Italy
My students really appreciate the card from teacher Elisa Ceccarelli's pupils.
My students thoroughly enjoyed this motivating activity. They worked in groups of two; each group chose a partner teacher and used the Caesar Cipher to encrypt Christmas greetings for their students. Afterward, they were thrilled to receive greeting cards from their partner friends and worked hard to decipher the messages. They had a blast! Merry Christmas everyone!

I explained Caesar's encryption method to my students. Then, we wrote our New Year's wishes using Rot3. After creating our encrypted messages, my students prepared New Year's greeting cards for our partners.
