As a part of Finnish schools on the Move, a national action programme to establish a physically active culture in Finnish schools, our language teachers organized an Outdoors Language and Culture Quiz. The students had to walk along the jogging path around our school to find the ten check points with three questions about language or culture on each. Most of the questions were in Finnish to ensure that all the students had an equal chance to succeed. The students were allowed to use their mobile phones to search for the right answer on the net, simultaneously learning new cultural facts. A couple of the language teachers also practiced the usage of QR codes while inventing the questions for the quiz. The quiz was carried out during language lessons on three consecutive days to ensure that as many students as possible could participate. The weather was warm and sunny and the students enjoyed the walk outside.
