1. Arrange students into groups. Each group needs at least ONE person who has a mobile device.

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. 1. ALONE TO THE NORTH POLE. Photographer Christina Franco wants to become the first woman to reach the geographic North Pole solo and on foot. Sixty days walking over ice and snow in temperatures as low as -45ºC, with nothing to keep you company except the occasional polar bear. This is no small achievement. Only a few people have ever walked to the North Pole unassisted, and if Christina Franco succeeds, she will have earned a place in the history books and met one of the few remaining challenges of exploration left to women. QUESTION: What does the writer say about the history of exploration? (A) Walking to the North Pole used to be considered easier than other journeys. (B) No woman has ever competed the journey to the geographic North Pole. (C) Female explorers have already done most of the world's difficult journeys.

(_) _________________ But thanks to the Internet it is now at least theoretically possible to get into great shape without even changing out of your pyjamas. QUESTION: Choose the sentence that's missing: (A) Once you manage to find a more worthwhile website, however, there are real advantages.

(C) Best of all, you can do so with the support of an online community who have the same aims as you.

Primary-school teacher Anisha Kapoor went to the Green Magic Nature Resort in Kerala, south-west India. 'It wasn't my first experience of tree house living,' she says, 'but it was certainly the best. I was pleased to see that in a region where there aren't many jobs, the houses are entirely built and maintained by workers from the area, using traditional techniques and local materials. For instance, the lifts up to the front doors are made of cane grown in nearby fields. They work fine, by the way, and I was glad there were no stairs to climb - the houses are 25 metres up! That's good, though, because at that height there's often a cool breeze blowing through the branches. For power there's solar energy, and the taps in the kitchen and bathroom are supplied by pollution-free natural springs in the nearby hills. There's even a pretty good shower.' QUESTION: Which sentence reflects what this person (Anisha Kapoor) says? (1) They were glad there was protection from insects. (2) They felt hot despite the cooling system. (3) They liked the fact that local people benefit from the tree houses.
