QR Code Scavenger Hunt

Besides being Halloween, today was the last day of the quarter, and the last day with my 6th grade Technology Applications class. I decided to do something fun to end the class and created a Halloween Scavenger Hunt with QR codes.

I used the site QR Code Generator and typed the clues as Text and generated a code for each clue. You'll want to copy them to a word processing document or something like that, especially if you want to save them for another occasion. Then I printed and placed the codes around the school. Be sure to double-check your codes, order and placement so that the hunt runs smoothly for your students.

I had students work in pairs and take turns being the scanner. The clue pops up as text on the devices--we were using iPad minis. My students loved the activity and even asked to do it again!

I describe a different kind of QR Code activity that I did in my Spanish class here.

iPad Apps for Elementary

A couple of weeks ago I gave a short presentation showcasing a few of my favorite apps for Elementary Students. Later on in the presentation I also share some resources for locating the right app for your needs.
