On Friday the 2nd grade students scheduled extra time with me in the library to participate in a QR Treasure Hunt about penguins. The 2nd grade classes had been learning about penguins for the past two weeks and this was a culmination to the theme. Earlier in the week, on their scheduled library day, the students researched one of the 17 species of penguins with a partner. They were responsible finding out the size, description, where it lives, prey, predators, and one unique fact. The students took this information back to the classroom where they presented their findings to their classmates. On Friday the students came to the library with their teachers one class at a time. The students were paired with the same partners and given a tablet to go around the library looking for hidden QR codes and scan them with the device. The codes were embedded with text that was a question about a penguin fact the students had learned over the past few weeks. Partners read the question and wrote the correct answer on a penguin recording sheet. Partners switched from writing and scanning on each QR penguin question but answered the question together. We had 10 questions and the activity took about 30 minutes for each class. I used ClassTools QR Generator. I love this tool and I use it for most of my QR activities. It's simple to use, but can only use text. The penguin QR above links to my QR activity on ClassTools. Feel free to use it in your classroom.
