QR Sight Word Tic Tac Toe

I originally saw an idea like this on pinterest (sorry I can't remember the exact website).  Like every teacher, I tweaked it a bit to make it work for me.  The idea is that the students scan a QR code on the tic tac toe grid and if they can read the sight word on it they get to mark it. I wanted to make this more useful then just printing 9 QR codes on a grid so I printed off the blank grid and laminated it.  Then I made QR codes for ALL the sight words and laminated them. After I had everything laminated I put Velcro on the board and the pieces that way they could be interchanged.  Finally I put the board and a Ziploc bag in a report folder (the one with the clear plastic top and the 3 hole punch holders).  That way they could just the dry Erase markers on the plastic part of the report cover.  The Ziploc bag is to hold all the QR codes.

This is how the students use it...

1.  They take 9 QR codes out of the Ziploc bag and Velcro them to the grid (since they can't tell what codes they are taking it prevents them from only doing the ones they know)

2.  They place the plastic cover over the QR codes.

3.  They decided who will be X's and who will be O's.

4.  They take turns scanning a QR code.  If they can read the sight word then they get to put their mark on it, if not their turn is over. 

5.  They continue until a person gets 3 in a row or there are no more spots to go.
