Device-Based Scavenger Hunt Activities

This activity is the coolest thing I’ve created and your kids are going to love it, mine do.

Here’s how you implement them.

1. Print the QR codes and place them around the room
2. Place your students into groups
3. Let them loose! They move from Location to Location as they complete their tasks. Each Task is assigned by scanning the QR code and there are 5 Tasks per Scavenger Hunt Activity.
4. Have them submit their answers directly to your email via a form on my website.

This activity:

• Lets your students utilize their devices
• Cuts down on wasted paper
• Combines learning with assessment
• Is a lot of fun

Interested in seeing how exactly the activity is carried out? I created a screen capture video of my phone as I go through the Solar System Scavenger Hunt activity.
