QR Challenge: In just a few years...

Created using the ClassTools QR Treasure Hunt Generator

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

• Download a QR reader (e.g. I-Nigma | NeoReader | Kaywa) onto their mobile devices
• Bring these devices into the lesson.

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. 1. In one year …I might be in Miss Green’s or Mr Butler’s class. I’ll be a little bit taller. I think we’ll still live in the same flat but Dad might drive a new car. I hope that we’ll have a pet cat – Mum says we might get one in the new year! I don’t think life will be much different one year from now.	Answer
2. 2. In five years … I’ll be in secondary school, of course. I hope that I’ll be at the same school as most of my friends! We’ll be a lot taller and we might have different hobbies by then. I think technology will be quite different five years from now. Everything will have touchscreens and people will wear clothes that connect to the Internet. I also think that more of our school work will be done online.	Answer
3. 3. In ten years … I might be working hard and planning to go to university. Lots of our old towns will be replaced by futuristic sky cities that touch the clouds! I also think everything will be more eco-friendly. Cars might all be electric and homes might use mostly solar power. We’ll also be able to recycle a lot more so there will be less need for landfills.	Answer
4. 4. In twenty years … I’ll be an adult! I’ll have a job and I might be living away from my parents. Hopefully I’ll travel to lots of places! We might have new technology that we can’t even imagine right now! I think we might have flying cars and superfast aeroplanes, and all public transport will be driverless. I think our food might be pills and tablets so that busy people can still get all the nutrients they need.	Answer
