1. Arrange students into groups. Each group needs at least ONE person who has a mobile device.
2. If their phone camera doesn't automatically detect and decode QR codes, ask students to
4. Cut them out and place them around your class / school.
1. Give each group a clipboard and a piece of paper so they can write down the decoded questions and their answers to them.
2. Explain to the students that the codes are hidden around the school. Each team will get ONE point for each question they correctly decode and copy down onto their sheet, and a further TWO points if they can then provide the correct answer and write this down underneath the question.
3. Away they go! The winner is the first team to return with the most correct answers in the time available. This could be within a lesson, or during a lunchbreak, or even over several days!
4. A detailed case study in how to set up a successful QR Scavenger Hunt using this tool can be found here.

What is mutual coexistence between the aural setting and movement?6 | The dance and the music are created independently of each other but may share the same tempo/theme/directive.6 | 7. What is direct correlation between the aural setting and the movement?7 | The music and movement match each other. They share the same time signature, tempo, phrasing and cadences.7 | 8. What does PRICE stand for and why is it so useful?8 | Protect, Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation. Reduces swelling, prevents blood pooling around injured area, prevents internal bleeding, minimises pain, helps reduce healing time.8 | 9. What is the name of correct alignment? Also demonstrate this.9 | Plumbline9 | 10. Demonstrate and explain how the weight should be distrubuted across the foot.10 | Demonstration of the 3-point foot - big toes, little toe and heel.10 | 11. Why do we need to warm-up?11 | To prevent injury and prepare the body and mind for exercise.11 | 12. Explain what happens to the body during a warm-up.12 | The heart begins to beat faster, this increases circulation and blood flow to the rest of the body. You breathe in more oxygen which is delivered to your muscles, making them ready for optimum performance. Your body temperature rises warming-up your muscles preparing them for movement/stretching. Your mind becomes more active and engaged, so you are mentally prepared for moving.12 | 13. Why do we need to cool-down?13 | To return the heart rate and breathing to normal, which will prevent dizziness. To remove the lactic acid build up in the muscles, which will prevent cramping. Stops blood pooling in the muscles. Returns your mind to a normal state.13 | 14. Give an example of a good warm-up.14 | Light cardio, walking, jogging, running. Joint mobilisation, gentle stretches.14 | 15. Give an example of a good cool-down.15 | Gradually lower the intensity of the work, from running, jogging, walking, lots of breathing, followed by stretching.15 | 16. List the qualities of an appropriate environment to train in.16 | Free of obstacles (trailing wires, chairs, tables), clean sprung floor, optimum temperature, ventilated, no spillages.16 | 17. Describe the appropriate clothing and overall presentation of a dancer.17 | Fitted clothing, no trailing trouser legs/tops. Hair tied up and brushed back off face. No jewellery. Appropriate footwear.17 | 18. What do we need as part of a balanced diet?18 | Carbohydrates, fat, protein, vitamins, minerals. | 19. Give two examples of slow releasing food.19 | Whole grains, fresh fruit, non starchy food, nuts.19 | 20. What is musicality?20 | The sense of rhythm and musical structure in a dancer's movement.20 | 21. How does focus help communicate the dance idea?21 | The use of focus helps draw the audience to certain parts of the dance. E.g. looking at a hand makes the audience focus on the hand.21 | 22. What is a binary form?22 | AB like the verse and chorus of a song. | 23.

What is an episodic structure?24 | The narrative unfolds as is connected by sections.24 | 25. What is a narrative structure?25 | A structure that tells a story.25 | 26. What is a chance structure?26 | A choreographic process in which movements are chosen at random or randomly structured to create a movement sequence or a dance.26 | 27. What are 3 ways you can get movement feedback in a rehearsal?27 | Peer feedback, video feedback, mirror feedback.27 | 28. What is the value of keeping a choreographic journal?28 | Note down ideas, developments, pictures, collage, make notes after rehearsal, aids in planning.28 | 29. When dancing in a duet, what things you do you have to aware of?29 | Sensitivity to the other dancer, use of space, relationship, timing.29 | 30. Name the 9 different ways the aural setting and movement can be linked.30 | Direct correlation, music visualisation, mutual coexistence, disassociation, identification of character, narrative, call and response, silence.30 |
