Teacher Notes

A. Prior to the lesson:

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

3. Print out the QR codes.

4. Cut them out and place them around your class / school.

B. The lesson:

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!

Questions / Answers (teacher reference)

Question

Answer

1. The Vikings came from three countries of Scandinavia: Denmark, Norway and Sweden. The name 'Viking' comes from a language called 'Old Norse' and means 'a pirate raid'0
2. The Vikings first came to England in 791. They sailed in ships called long-ships. England was attacked by three long-ships from Denmark0
3. Viking long-ships were made out of wood. They were long and sleek to make them fast in the water. They were sometimes called dragon-ships because of the wooden carvings at the front of the ship. The ships had a large, square sail made out of wool or cloth. When there wasn't enough wind, the Vikings had to use oars to sail the ship0
4. The Vikings attacked the Christian monastery at Lindisfarne in Northumbria in 7930
5. The Vikings attacked monasteries because they were easy to attack. he monks in the monasteries had no weapons. Churches and monasteries also kept valuable treasures, such as gold, jewels and books. There were food, drink, cattle, clothes and tools too - tempting for greedy Vikings0
