Unlock the hidden connections between society’s key institutions in this interactive code-breaking challenge! This activity helps students understand Functionalism—the theory that society works like a system, where each institution (family, education, government, etc.) plays a crucial role in maintaining stability.

Objective:
Students must decode clues about different societal institutions and their functions, uncovering how they interact to keep society running smoothly. By cracking the codes, students will deepen their understanding of Functionalist theory and how different parts of society work together.

How It Works:

Each clue describes an institution’s role in maintaining social stability.
By solving the puzzles, students will reveal how institutions are interconnected and support society as a whole.
