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!

C. TIPS / OTHER IDEAS

4. A detailed case study in how to set up a successful QR Scavenger Hunt using this tool can be found here.

On his way in the house, he dropped the garbage bag off at the washing machine and went straight up stairs to the shower as he was instructed. He would eat dinner with her after he was “presentable,” as Alice had often said. WHAT TYPE OF JOB DOES PAUL HAVE? MAKE SURE TO EXPLAIN YOUR ANSWER. ANSWERS WILL VARY

4. 4) Chris was upset that the teacher made the new kid sit with him. He liked to sit by himself, and he didn’t want to make any friends. While the teacher was passing out papers, the new kid made the first move, “Hi, my name’s Sean.” Chris replied brusquely, “That’s nice,” without looking up from the notebook on which he was doodling. Sean paid Chris’s lack of manners no mind. Instead, he stole a glance at the notebook on which Chris was drawing. Sean noticed that Chris was drawing a guitar with skulls on it. Sean asked politely, “What’s your favorite band?” Chris ignored him. Sean continued, “My favorite band is The Lords of Death.” Chris looked up at him for the first time. “Hello, Sean, my name is Chris. I believe that we are going to be great friends.” Sean smiled.
