WOW! I really didn't know how much of an impact it would have on my students. They were all so engaged in this activity I was amazed. My 2nd grade partner experienced the same in her room so I know it was real. Even the students that always mess around during group activity time were engaged.
I have probably at least 4 ADHD students in my classroom so the movement kept them engaged and working the whole time.
The activity was simply a review of prefixes and irregular verbs for the reading test they would be taking that day. All students were working and helping each other with the answers.
I set it up so that there were 3 students in every group. Then I made a rotation schedule so everyone had a chance to use the ipad to read the QR code, write down the answer, and the third person was the locator and found the next code in the room.
We checked the answers together after the activity.
Check out this video to see how engaged they were:
Making the QR codes was easy! Here are the steps to do this activity in your classroom:

2. click on the QR game generator
3. get started
4. When you put your questions in make sure to number them and put the answer
5. Either go to the answers and print them off or write down your answers
6. print them and post them around your room
7. Be ready to be amazed!
