41. Red Light, Green Light
People all over the world are familiar with the Red Light, Green Light game and we’ve all played it as children. Apparently, this game is played worldwide, but it has a different name in every country. In the U.S., we call it Red Light, Green Light, and it’s a very simple game: when the chosen person calls “green light” the players are allowed to move forward, and when they call “red light” they must immediately stop in their tracks. If you move after hearing the words “red light”, you lose.
We’ve all played this game growing up, and we were reminded of the children’s game recently when the popular Netflix miniseries Squid Game was released. Of course, the game on the show had deadly consequences: players who moved after the creepy doll finished saying the phrase they use in South Korea were shot. We’re sure Halloween 2021 will be full of Squid Game-themed costumes, including this infamous doll from the Red Light, Green Light game!
