Squid Game
Directions
Squid Game is an activity where you will play a series of games for the chance to win a prize of your choice.
I will let the class choose the reward for the winner of Squid Game (within reason. I.e., the prize cannot be “automatically get an ‘A’” or “not have to do another assignment for the rest of the quarter.” I have the power to veto any prize without explanation).
The prize must be limited to Quarter Two.
There are six rounds of Squid Game.
Each round will have its own set of directions and objectives.
You will complete both as a team and individually during Squid Game, depending on the round.
If you or your team is eliminated:
You are no longer eligible to win the grand prize.
However, you can return to the game:
If you can catch another player cheating/breaking the rules/or you know you can beat another player at an activity, you can rejoin the game and once again become eligible for the grand prize.
Round 1
Individual Challenge
You will have 1 minute to complete this challenge.
When instructed to do so, click the link on today’s Module: “Squid Game: Round 1.”
Enter the access code.
Please place the 8-sentence body paragraph in order.
Round 2
Group Challenge
When instructed to do so, please arrange in groups of 8.
You have 1 minute and 30 seconds to find a group of 8, or else you will be eliminated.
After Arranging in Groups:
When instructed to do so, please flip over the pieces of paper given to you.
Please arrange the 8-sentence body paragraph in the correct order.
Then, stand behind the line to play Red Light, Green Light.
Red Light, Green Light
When I say “green light!” the person whose turn it is must move as close to the piece of paper in front of them as they can before I say “red light.”
If you move after I say “red light,” then you are eliminated.
Once you reach the paper, you must tape the same 8-sentence body paragraph to the paper in the correct order.
If you have placed the paragraph in the incorrect order, your entire team will be eliminated.
You can still fix your mistakes once you’ve reached the paper if you leave plenty of room between the different sentences, send the first person to glue the part of the paragraph you are most confident about first and send the person who understands the 8-sentence body paragraph the best last.
If you have been eliminated: You can rejoin the game by pointing out a player that moves after I have said: “Red Light” is cheating in some way, or if you identify a team that has placed the body paragraph in the correct order, you can resurrect yourself and 7 other people.
