19. Suggestions Pair kids & give them clipboards
Have an alphabet stapled to their Question Sheet
Don’t laminate QR codes- glare interferes
Have them turn up the volume before they begin

Cut lines VERY STRAIGHT!
Give each pair of students a letter on the envelope and write it on each corresponding QR code piece
