QR Code Literacy Activities: 5th and 6th Grade Bundle
Many classes now have access to iPads and other devices that will allow the students to use QR scanners during centers or even independent work time.
NOTE: This is the BUNDLE. If you already own any of the following items, do not buy this bundle. By buying this bundle instead of all sets individually though, you will be saving money.
Bundle Includes:
5th-6th Grade Inference Mysteries
5th-6th Grade Main Idea Mysteries
5th-6th Grade Context Clue Mysteries
I have created a set of mysteries where the students can work on their context clues, main idea, and inferencing skills. These activities can be done with a QR scanner or without one. If you do not want to use the QR scanner, just pass the mystery cards out to the students or have them available in the center. The students can just read the cards and fill in the task sheet.
To use the QR scanner, have the cards with QR codes available in the center or during the activity. The students will scan a card and the mystery will pop up on their screen! They can read the mystery then fill in the task sheet.
(QR Reader) is the app I use as my scanner and I love it! :)
After the students are completely finished, you can give them the final “answer” QR code and they can scan it to check their answers!
I love when students can be independent but still be learning and having fun! These are a great way to integrate technology and get your students familiar with using these devices!
8 Fiction and 8 Informational Mysteries are included for EACH skill!
(24 Fiction and 24 Informational Cards Total in this Bundle!)
NOTE: These are not actual mysteries! :) These are just called mysteries because the students have to determine the word meanings of the bold/underlined words, inferences from the text, and the main idea of the text.
You will love the low prep of this activity! Enjoy!
Special Note: The QR codes in the preview do not actually work. They will send you to my shop. I did this to protect my product while still being able to show you the look of the product.
PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING:
The QR Codes on these cards are made with shortened QR links. PLEASE be certain your district allows shortened links or you can gain temporary access to shortened links if they are blocked. Discuss this with your technology person before purchasing! Thank you!
Poetry Comprehension Life-Size Board Game
We all know that engaging students is important. But do you ever struggle with unique ways to engage your students? I know I do. One night, while laying in bed, I came up with a fun idea for teaching certain concepts. Life-Size Game Boards. Pretty cool huh?
To make this happen, you will need to do a little prep. However, it will be very worth it!
Make sure you have large dice, cups and the board game tiles. (I linked my affiliate links for these in the preview and the actual product if you need them!)
Print the clip art people, laminate and cut them out. Using binder clips, clip them to the cups. (See example pictures.)
Lay out the game board tiles in any formation that looks like a game board.
Use masking tape or packing tape, tape the cards to the tiles.
Unlike my other games, there are no cards with this one just the poem. Make sure to print and laminate the poem.
Students will read the poem first, roll ONE die, and do the task on the board. If the student lands on a blank square, have them choose any task on the board to do. If the student gets it correct, they stay on the board. If the student misses, they go back to the beginning! The first student to the end wins!
I have done this game before, just not on a life-size game board until now!
(Note: Pictures in the preview and cover page are sample pictures of the vocabulary life-size game, but the concept is the same.)
Guide Word Practice
Great practice for Guide Words! Students will learn about guide words, play games, complete task cards, and show mastery through the assessment activities!
This file includes:
Guide Word Journal Page for student to glue in their journals
Guide Word Task Cards (16)
Guide Word Board Game-with instructions and game cards!
Guide Word Task Sheet for Game
Guide Word Independent Activity for Assessing
Guide Word Cut and Paste Activity

Updated Recipe Card: Fill in the steps on the updated recipe card (including the three inferred steps.) All steps should be in logical order.
Procedural Text Mystery
I am obsessed with this activity! It is really 3 practice procedural text activities rolled into one lesson!
In groups, students will start with by solving a letter mystery to spell out the word PROCEDURE. Once that is done, they will flip those cards over to solve another procedural text mystery by pulling instruction cards out of a bag and putting them in order. Finally, they will fill out a higher level questioning task sheet about the instruction cards! The students will have to justify their answers and solve the final mystery of “what they are making or creating.” All of these three components are connected to make less work on the teacher and create more engagement for the students!
Here are the teacher instructions that are provided in the product! Please check out the preview also!
Teacher Instructions:
Each table will receive a set of PROCEDURE letter cards (these cards should be folded on the dotted line with the words folded BACK behind the letter and mixed up.) Each table will also receive a PROCEDURAL TEXT MYSTERY Card and a set of card instructions (6) for procedure they have to put in order and the task sheet that goes with it. Putting these all in baggies will help! I also run each group off on different color paper!
Each table will FIRST complete the PROCEDURAL TEXT MYSTERY CARD with the PROCEDURE letters. The students will follow the instructions on the card to put the letters in order. (The students will not know what word these letters spell until the follow the instructions on the card.
Next, they will flip each letter card over and follow the instructions on the back of that card.
While they are following those instructions, they will be ordering the 6 procedure cards and filling in their task sheet.
You or the students can check the answer keys provided to see if they did the procedure correctly!
In the end, the students have completed three procedural text activities rolled into one!
There are enough for 5 groups to each have a different procedural text instruction set!
Procedural Instructions Include:
-Grilled Cheese
-Play-Doh
-Lemonade
-Tic-Tac-Toe
-Drawing a Snowman
If this seems confusing, I will be doing a FACEBOOK Live video tonight and you can see what this activity is all about! You will be able to find it here after it is completed!
Facebook Live Video
I hope you will check this out! My students love this activity and it is great for an observation or just to review procedural text!
Answer Keys are Included!
