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. The birds swooped up, dove down, came together, flapping, and parted again. Two people watched them, from opposite sides of the street. Their destinies were beginning to intertwine, but they were as yet unaware of each other. | third person omniscient | 2. I dialed in to the call, put the phone on mute, and only half-listened as I ate my lunch. | first person | 3. Kenneth watched the girl, his heart breaking. He couldn’t have imagined that everything that there had been between them would end this way. A million memories jostled in his mind, competing for his attention. She turned, saw him watching her, and waved, a kind-of half smile on her face. Then she walked away. His heart sank. Never, ever for a moment had he ever understood what was on that girl’s mind. | third person limited | 4. The huge man dropped his blankets and flung himself down and drank from the surface of the green pool. The small man stepped behind him. "Lennie!" he said sharply."Lennie, for God" sakes don’t drink so much." Lennie continued to snort into the pool. The small man leaned over and shook him by the shoulder. "Lennie you gonna be sick like you was last night." Lennie dipped his whole head under, hat and all… "Tha’s good," he said. "You drink some, George." | third person objective | 5. You shouldn't argue with people on the Internet. It is a waste of time and energy. Do you want to spend your precious life energy trying to type sense into some delusional fool who will only hate you for your efforts? No, you don't. The next time someone makes some outlandish claim that infuriates you, you should either ignore them, unfriend them, or block them. You will find these actions to be more satisfying than casting your pearls of wisdom before the likes of swine. | second person |
