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).]]
Line 11 ⟶ 12:
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]]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 schools annually send their graduating classes on a week-long trip involving overnight travel.
 
Synonymous with [[Field Trip]].
