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. 7:55 AM: You just arrived to school, and are ready to tear into the Chick-n-Minis your Mom stopped and picked up on the way! You thought you’d hang out here, in Hallway 6, but that’s a no-go! Until the bell rings at 8:15, you have to head to where everyone meets for meals at school… | 1 | 2. 8:15 AM: Welcome to the Cafeteria! Unless you have a note from a teacher, be sure to meet here in the mornings before the 1st bell. Wow! That Chick-Fil-A really hit the spot! You’re having a great time with your friends, when you suddenly remember: You were absent yesterday! You have a doctor’s note that needs to go to the Attendance Office! Don’t know where that is? It’s in the Math and Science building. But hurry! The 8:15 bell just rang! You don’t want to be late to 1st period! | 2 | 3. 8:20 AM: The Attendance Office is where you will drop off any notes concerning absences. You will check-in here if you are ever late, or meet your parents if you leave early. This also where you can check to see if you have any makeup hours (but you don’t EVER want to have those!). After delivering your note, make sure you don’t leave without an admittance slip. If you are late to class, and don’t have one of those, a teacher could mark you tardy! But hurry! The bell is about to ring, and you have to make it to Señor Cambindo’s class. ¡Prisa! ¡No llegue tarde! That means: Hurry! Don’t be late! The Foreign Language classes are on Hall 2! | 3 | 4. 8:25 AM: Oh no! You were so close! The bell rang, and you were not inside the classroom. That’s a tardy, mi amigo. You’ll need to head to Mrs. Garren’s office. She’s just outside of Hall 5. Look up for the orange “Tardy Station” sign. | 4 | 5. 8:27 AM: This is Mrs. Garren’s office. In addition to tardy slips, Mrs. Garren is a one-stop shop for almost anything you can think of. Not sure if it’s an A or B Day? See Mrs. Garren. Confused about where to go? See Mrs. Garren. Need to call your mom? You get the idea... Good thing this is only your first tardy. It’s only a warning. But don’t go racking these bad boys up, or you’ll start to lose school privileges! If you end up in ISS, you can’t get into dances and games! But now it’s time for 2nd period! Hurry along to the Math & Science Building and find the computer lab, upstairs in Room 219! | 5 |
