Level Up ESL Learning with Squid Game Trivia Fun!
Looking for an exciting and engaging way to enhance your English as a Second Language (ESL) classes? Inspired by the thrilling “Glass Stepping Stones” challenge from the hit series Squid Game, this game is a perfect blend of fun and learning. Designed to boost vocabulary, critical thinking, and language skills, it’s an interactive activity that will have your students eagerly participating and practicing English in no time.

How It Works
In this interactive classroom game, students step into the roles of players crossing a path of tiles. Each turn offers two choices: one leads to a trivia question or language challenge, and the other? A setback! Here’s how it plays out:
- Choose Your Tile: Students pick between two tiles, left or right, to progress.
- Question or Back to Start: Landing on a trivia tile presents a language-related challenge. It could be a grammar question, vocabulary puzzle, or conversation prompt. A correct answer moves them forward, but a wrong answer sends them back in line.
- Beware the Bomb Tile: Some tiles are booby-trapped! Choose one of these, and the student must return to the starting point.
The goal? Be the first to successfully navigate the tiles while demonstrating excellent language skills!
Why Your Students Will Love It
