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. Yay!! You found the playground. You will have lots of fun playing here with your friends but you just missed me. Am I going to cry? Goodness no! There’s still so much to see. I went to the room where I can move and groove. Maybe I’ll see you there! Love, Pete the Cat | Dance | 2. Good job!! You found the dance room. We have to take our school shoes off in here so Mrs. Larson can teach us to spin and twirl on her cool dance floor. You’ll have to work hard to move your hips but not your lips. Dancers never make a sound! It looks like I still didn’t get to see you but did I cry? Goodness no! I strolled right next door where lots of singing is in store. Maybe I’ll see you there! Love, Pete the Cat | Music | 3. Great!! You found the music room. Sometimes you’ll sing soft and sometimes you’ll sing loud but the thing to always do is make Mrs. Bamford proud! The teacher said you weren’t here either but did I cry? Goodness no! I found a room where I can type and click. Maybe I’ll see you there if you come quick! Love, Pete the Cat | computer lab | 4. Wow!! You found the computer lab. With Mrs. Hinson you will get a chance to play some fun new games but first you’ll have to learn to type and put in your own names. You missed me again but did I cry? Goodness no! I went across the hall to see the person who can fix me up if I ever fall. Maybe I’ll see you there! Love, Pete the Cat | Nurse | 5. That was easy!! You found the nurse. Nurse Hinson is our friend and I’ll tell you why – in her health room she will fix what hurts or makes you cry. Do you think I cried when I saw you weren’t here? Goodness no! I wandered down to see where the principal might be. I hope I’ll see you there! Love, Pete the Cat | office | 6. Hooray!! You found the office. This can be a busy place but everyone has a friendly face. Chester Park is a big school but remember to be brave ‘cause Dr. Moore, Mr. Beckham, Mrs. Wilson, and Ms. Campbell will always stop to give a wave! They told me you weren’t here but did I cry? Goodness no! I’m rockin’ down the hall to find the room with books on every wall. Maybe you can find me there! Love, Pete the Cat | library | 7. Super!! You found the library. Shhhh! If you find a book you don’t have to buy it but you always have to be very, very quiet! From Ms. Graff you can check out a book but don’t forget to bring it back so other kids can take a look! I found my favorite book but I didn’t find you! Did I cry? Goodness no! I went to the place where I can make a great new mask to wear on my face. Let’s hope I see you there! Love, Pete the Cat | reader's theater | 8. Right on!! You found Reader’s Theater. Mrs. Jordan is the one to know because she can teach you how to put on a show! I love reading and acting so I’m sure you will too. It looks like I missed you again but did I cry? Goodness no! I just couldn’t wait to find the room where I can paint! Maybe I’ll see you there! Love, Pete the Cat | Art | 9. That was fast!! You found the art room. With Mrs. Bradshaw you’ll create using markers, paint, and clay. You’ll make lots of artwork from August until May! I drew you a lovely picture but I just couldn’t stay. Did I cry? Goodness no! I went to the room where you can run, and jump, and play! I can’t wait see you there! Love, Pete the Cat | PE | 10. Yay!! You found the PE room. You’ll be rocking your tennis shoes when you hop and run with Ms. Lindsey. Always listen to what she says and follow the rules when it’s time to play! I missed you again but did I cry? Goodness no! I’m ready to eat so I went to the big noisy room with tables and seats! Maybe I’ll see you there! Love, Pete the Cat | cafeteria | 11. Good job!! You found the cafeteria. I like this room a bunch because this is where I go to eat my lunch! I hope that soon you will find my last shoe but you need to practice here so you’ll know what to do. Are you going to cry? Goodness no! I went for a walk because in the hall we never run, so I’ll be waiting in your classroom when you are all done. See you there! Love, Pete the Cat | our classroom |
