It allows them to explore and experiment with sounds, words, and grammar, fostering their creativity and cognitive skills. Additionally, creating their own language can also serve as a means of communication and bonding with peers, further enhancing their social development.

While cleverness can certainly help in understanding and creating complex codes, speaking a secret language primarily requires knowledge of the language itself and the ability to communicate using it. Intelligence may aid in deciphering codes or coming up with new ones, but it is not a prerequisite for speaking a secret language. Therefore, the statement is false.
