Abstract: Post pandemic classrooms often face declining learner motivation and poor vocabulary retention especially when teaching remains passive. MOVE (Motivational Outdoor Vocabulary Engagement) was designed to change this experience by bringing learning outdoors, combining movement, digital support, and teamwork to make vocabulary learning active, engaging, and memorable. Instead of sitting quietly in class, learners began by memorising a list of words, then moved through playful stations: jumping through hula hoops before a Quizizz challenge, bending under the limbo stick before Kahoot, skipping rope before Quizalize, and finally creating sentences together on Padlet. Survey results from 45 learners showed powerful impacts: 93.3 percent enjoyed using digital support, 82.2 percent felt more motivated, and almost all 95.6 percent said teamwork helped them succeed. Learners themselves described the activity as fun and more memorable than sitting in class. MOVE shows how language learning can be simple, low cost, and entertaining while still achieving actual results.
