ACTIVITY PACK

YOUR TRIBEIt’s important to find your tribe, Casey. That

doesn’t necessarily mean people like you, it

means people who complement you. Some

people are good with words. Some people are

good with technology. Some educate. Some

learn. Some lead. Some follow. Some shout.

Some whisper. Your tribe should be a beautiful

mix of it all. Find the friends that make you

a better person and then hold on tight.

x Mum

FIND YOUR TRIBEIn The Power of Positive Pranking, Casey’s mum leaves her the note

below which inspires the creation of the Green Peas – the covert environmental activism group. After reading it, Casey is inspired to

find her tribe, and reflect on what makes them great:

The Green PeasCasey Wu – The organiser. The planner. Maybe the ideas person? (She’s deciding.)

Zeke McKillop – The tech-guy (and definitely NOT a ninja, no matter what he says).

Cookie Munsta – Super arty and creative (definitely the coolest of the group).

Write down who is in your tribe, come up with a name for your tribe, and write down what makes each person in your tribe unique.

GREEN PEAS RULE 1The first rule of Green Peas is shhhhhh!The perfect way to keep your master plans top secret is to use a cipher.A cipher is a secret, or disguised, way of writing. An example of a cipher is to replace each letter of the alphabet with a number, like below.

If you wrote ‘The first rule of green peas is shhhhhh!’ with the above cipher, it would read:20 8 5 6 9 18 19 20 18 21 12 5 15 6 7 18 5 5 14 16 5 1 19 9 19 19 8 8 8 8 8 8!

If you wrote ‘The first rule of green peas is shhhhhh!’ with this cipher, it would read:

GSV URIHG IFOV LU TIVVM KVZH RH RSSSSSS!

Now that you know what a cipher is, create your own for you and your friends or family to use!

Another way you could create a cipher would be to jumble up the letters of the alphabet like the example below:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26
