Here's a fairly comprehensive list of "classical" pencil and paper hand ciphers if you want to practice or get familiar with any of them:
1. Massive list at ACA: https://www.cryptogram.org/resource-area/cipher-types/
2. Hill cipher: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hill_cipher
3. Solitaire cipher: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solitaire_(cipher)
4. Chaocipher: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaocipher
5. ElsieFour: https://eprint.iacr.org/2017/339
Not that any should be used in place of modern cryptography, but useful for understanding confusion, difussion, and analysis.
