This Science (Keeping Healthy) QR code activity is perfect for introducing the topic of ‘Keeping Healthy’ or as a friendly reminder about how to live a healthy lifestyle. You will be amazed at how much they can learn about keeping healthy in a short amount of time!
This activity works best in the outdoors. Hide the QR codes around your outdoor area and then give the children the answer sheet and the I-pads. They must go around, find the answers, and complete the answer sheet.
If you are using the QR codes, you will need a QR scanner, which you can download free from the app store.
Alternatively you can print the cards two sided (with the answers on the back) if you do not have the technology available.
I find it works really well if you get the children to do the QR quiz, and then a week later give them the same questions to see what they have remembered.
Contents:
- 16 QR Quiz Cards
- 16 Cards with answers that you can print on the back of the question cards
- 1 answer sheet
We hope you have as much fun as our class did!
