Kids at an elementary school in Aomori Prefecture held a zokin (cleaning cloth) relay yesterday:
According to the report, the hallway in which the relay was held is 147 meters long, making it the longest hallway of its type in a Japanese elementary school. The event was started last year as a graduation tradition for 6th graders, and 54 graduating students participated in this year’s relay.

That was fun for the kids and how excited they all looked . Also a very clean floor or hall way.

So… the kids were tricked into cleaning the hallway and they thought it was actually fun. Those Japanese elementary school teachers are really smart.
