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. Question You will be using your QR code reader to access a series of clues. These clues will lead you all over the school in your hunt for treasure. There are two levels of clue: easier ones are green, harder ones are blue. You must choose now which set of clues to follow, as they follow different paths around the school. An example of a harder clue would be something like this: this place will have you dribbling but your mouth won’t be watering. When you find a QR code clue, you must use your ipad’s camera to take a group photo in front of it, so I can check that you haven’t skipped any. Good luck and enjoy!
