Christopher Columbus: QR Code Scavenger Hunt & Research Lap Book with Flip Book

Looking for an exciting and engaging way for students to learn all about Christopher Columbus? Using QR code clues students discover all about his life, important work, and contributions. Students will discover clues and crack the code to figure out all about this famous historical figure!

First, students scan each QR code to get a clue about this historical figure and then record the answer clues on the scavenger hunt sheet. Once all the clues have been read they use the domino code in the answers to write the missing letters and discover who they have been researching. For a challenging scavenger hunt, use the clue cards and scavenger hunt recording sheet without numbers. For a direct and easy to follow scavenger hunt, use the clue cards and scavenger hunt recording sheet with numbers.

After student discover who the mystery famous historical figure is that they have been learning about, allow them time to research more interesting facts on their own. When teaching this lesson I uncover a bin of library books all about this historical figure. I also allow students to use the additional QR codes to watch some video clips and virtual field trips. When viewing the video clips and virtual field trips, student record new, additional facts on PDF pages 34 & 35.

After all research has been done students then create a Christopher Columbus Lap Book to organize their facts.
