Gillham code

Gillham Code is like a secret code that was invented by a man named George Gillham a long time ago. The code is used to protect messages from people who want to read them but are not supposed to.

In Gillham Code, each letter of the alphabet is replaced by a different symbol or picture, so instead of writing the letter 'A', you might draw a little house or a flower instead. This way, if someone intercepts your message, they won't be able to understand what it says because they don't know the code.

Gillham Code can be a lot of fun to use with your friends, but it's also important to remember that it's only meant for innocent and playful purposes. It's not a good idea to use secret codes to hide important information from grown-ups or teachers, since they are there to help and protect you.
