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. Scooby and Shaggy ran from Madeline’s bedroom! They say they saw a ghost on the bed! | The ghost is not here, but there are strange footprints heading to the front door. Check there! | 2. Not here, but the ghost got Daphne! It ran outside to the garden! | You found Daphne, but the ghost got away. It ran toward the swingset! | 3. Not this time, but you found sticky ghost goo all over the swings. Fred saw the same type of goo near the refrigerator! Go investigate! | The goo is here, but the ghost is gone. But what is that creepy music that started playing? | 4. The music stopped – this ghost is slippery! But would a real ghost need to stop playing the piano to go to the bathroom? Go get that ghost! | You sense the ghost was here. But where is the ghost now? Scooby follows its scent. Apparently, the ghost likes to read books. | 5. You got to the books but Shaggy is running toward you from the computer. You know what that means! | It’s hard to say if Shaggy saw the ghost or a just his shadow, but you did not catch the ghost here. Still, Velma notices some board game pieces on the ground – little green and red ghost figures. What could that mean? | 6. This must be where the ghost was, but the ghost is not here. But don’t the sheets in the top of the closet look a bit messy? Why would a ghost want a sheet? And if it grabs one from this closet, it’s going to want to wash it first! | The ghost was here. But what kind of ghost uses sheets? I think it’s time we solved this mystery…. Fred, Daphne, and Velma set a trap and Scooby and Shaggy caught the ghost. Look under your bed to unmask the villain! |
