Halloween candy for the winners (and for runners-up as well!). Minimum 1 QR Code reader App on any of the students’ gadgets – tablets, phones per group. Minimum 1 gadget with Internet access per group.

Level. Intermediate, but adaptable.

Procedure

Welcome the teams. Make sure each team has a QR reader app on at least one gadget. Check if they have at least one gadget with Internet access (for “tough” questions, just in case). The teams scan the code, choose the correct answer and run to the next spot. If they see “Oops” sheet, they were wrong and must return to the previous spot and choose the right answer. The team which answers the questions the fastest and arrives at the last spot first, wins.
