Line 9:
Any series that takes place in a school, be it elementary, middle, high, or even kindergarten, will have at least one episode that takes place during a class trip. The destination can vary, but for day trips, it's usually educational and [[Museum of Boredom|painfully boring (like a museum, a local historical landmark, or a cardboard box factory).]]
 
A whole episode [['''Class Trip]]''' is a great change of scenery, and gives both an interesting place to cook up wacky hijinks and a watershed moment in romantic relationships between students. It's technically [[Not a Date]], but it gives couples a chance to sneak off and go sightseeing by themselves. The travel itself can be a bit of an adventure, and once the class gets there, there are endless opportunities for [[Zany Scheme|Zany Schemes]]s, illicit romance or [[Oops I Did It Again|mistaken assumptions]] that zany schemes and illicit romance are happening. It's an excellent time for a [[First Kiss]] to happen. Or for a lost [[Monster of the Week]] to attack.
 
Anime really likes this one: Japanese schools generally send students on at least one [['''Class Trip]]''' per school year. [[Tokyo Tower]] is a frequent destination for day outings, but many (virtually all) schools take at least one annual trip involving overnight travel.
 
Synonymous with [[Field Trip]].

* ''[[Survival of the Fittest]]'', like ''[[Battle Royale]]'', has the classes chosen for the [[Deadly Game|latest SOTF season]] abducted from their school trips, almost always on June 19th19 . The exception to this is Bathurst in v2, where the two classes were taken from a sexual education seminar due to {{spoiler|the terrorists' [[The Mole|mole]], Steven Wilson, having spent the year masquerading as the new principal, and then choosing that moment to pump the auditorium full of sleeping gas}}.
* Even [[Lolcat|lolcatslolcat]]s like to go on [http://icanhascheezburger.com/2008/09/28/funny-pictures-kitteh-committeh-field-trip/ field trips.]
