Alternative education--information and name?

There was a viral video a few years back and I'm trying to put a name to the type of education it uses: https://youtu.be/syKJFUcdAls

It's not outdoor education, necessarily. Experiential sounds close. But, for example, in the same learning style you might learn Pythagoras' Theorem by racing your classmate across differing lengths of hypotenuse. Or you might explore a book that was read in class by following a treasure hunt around the playground in which the clues are solved by knowing key points in the narrative. Or learning chemistry by manipulating giant medicine balls that correspond to valence electrons. Etc.

Is there a name for this? Have there been schools that leaned more heavily toward such learning? Anything you can point me toward would be a massive help!
