1. Arrange students into groups. Each group needs at least ONE person who has a mobile device.
2. If their phone camera doesn't automatically detect and decode QR codes, ask students to
4. Cut them out and place them around your class / school.
1. Give each group a clipboard and a piece of paper so they can write down the decoded questions and their answers to them.
2. Explain to the students that the codes are hidden around the school. Each team will get ONE point for each question they correctly decode and copy down onto their sheet, and a further TWO points if they can then provide the correct answer and write this down underneath the question.
3. Away they go! The winner is the first team to return with the most correct answers in the time available. This could be within a lesson, or during a lunchbreak, or even over several days!
4. A detailed case study in how to set up a successful QR Scavenger Hunt using this tool can be found here.
Question | Answer |
| 1. I liked the very strong, powerful female character, Ayla. | Clan of the Cave Bear | 2. | 3. I enjoyed this book a lot because it was the continuation of the famous series that I had started reading when it began. It also added a tournament element and expanded the world I had been reading about since the beginning. | Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire | 4. | 5. I loved all of Nancy Drew's books because they took me away to other places and adventures. I loved going to get the next book and the smell of our small town library. | Nancy Drew Books | 6. | 7. My friends and I were into Dungeons and Dragons, so the Tolkein books inspired some of our games. | Lord of the Rings series | 8. | 9. Steinbeck's story resonated with me because, like the Joad family, I grew up in--let's say, economically unstable conditions. Every time it seemed like things might work out, some unforeseen catastrophe always managed to keep the Joads in "their place." The book reinforced my belief that authority and bureaucracy are typically not your friend, and that there are systemic constructs that work only to maintain the power and money of those who already have power and money. The story made me angry, and it still does. | The Grapes of Wrath | 10. | 11. Joseph Heller's classic satire played to my appreciation of sarcasm and my belief that bureaucracy--in all its forms--is pure madness. | Catch-22 | 12. | 13. I enjoyed all the books by Cynthia Voigt. She had some great books about teenagers in situations completely different than what my life was like. | Izzy, Willy-Nilly | 14. | 15. I had never read a Russian writer before the age of 16 and my high school English teacher recommended that I read it. Even though it was a difficult read I found it compelling and reread it as an adult with much more comprehension. It is a great tragedy of love, and introduced me to the Russian political and economic structure. The writing is absolutely amazing--emotion and history all in one! | Anna Karenina | 16. | 17. I LOVED IT BECAUSE THE RABBITS WERE SO CLOSELY KNIT AND SO EMOTIONAL...AND IT WAS EXCITING! | Watership Down | 18. | 19. The books exercised my imagination and excited my adventurous self while having a lot of deep meaning hidden with symbolism and metaphors. | The Chronicles of Narnia | 20. | 21. The first Harry Potter book really took off when I was the same age as Harry, and as I grew in age and maturity, I grew with him. The final book came out the year I graduated high school. As he struggled with decisions and what it means to become an adult, I found myself in similar situations (albeit, in a slightly less fantastical world). | Harry Potter | 22. | 23. Steinbeck is a just a great writer and champion of the working class. | Travels with Charley | 24. | 25. She captivates you and holds your interest until the end! | Mary Higgins Clark | 26. | 27. I don't know if I would say I loved this book but it is one that I seemed to remember. The book had a lot of symbolism that we studied in school. | Scarlet Letter |
