Key Benefits for Language Students

Educational. Students will learn about the area’s local history or other topics while doing the activity. They will also gain valuable language practice and learn new vocabulary. (CLIL - learning history through English).
Outdoors. Students complete a 2 mile walk (average), enjoying healthy gentle exercise whilst having fun!
Teamwork. Students must work together to follow the directions and solve the clues. Everyone can participate.
Fun. Searching for and solving clues to solve the mystery is great fun! The clues will challenge students without being too difficult.
