Old school Korean children's games are gaining global recognition after appearing in season 2 of Squid Game , lets take a look at some of them ! With Squid Game season two taking the world by storm, audiences throughout the globe have been guessing which children's games might come into play during the new highly anticipated season. As we seen in season one impoverished Koreans compete in children's games in order to win money, however if they lose the games, they die! Number Matching Number Matching is a popular children's game, which is often seen being played in school playgrounds. For this game, players need to join their hands in order to form a circle and spin around while singing a song. Sounds fun right? Well not so much in Squid Game , since players get eliminated if they are not good enough. The series showcases this where contestants board a massive merry-go-round first and must quickly form groups of the correct number in order to claim limited spots in secure booths. This game is a test of bonds, humanity and even among family members. Jegichagi This game is more on the traditional side, and it is a Korean game played with a Jegi. This is similar to that of a shuttlecock typically used in badminton. The original way is to wrap a coin in a cloth and attach strings to it, although in more modern times Jegi often has a metal core and colorful plastic strings around it, and most Koreans like to play this game around New Year. Paengichigi A past time game which has now moved to it's way to global screens, and a game that involves skilfully spinning a top on ice using a whip like action. In Squid Game , the contestants are shown in a triangular top operated with string, a modern version of the game, which was more popular in the late 80s and early 90s. The aim of the game is to wrap the string around the top and release it to set it spinning. Will the contestants be able to work under pressure? Gonggi This popular game is a game using five or so small pebbles or in more modern times plastic colorful stones! It is a game played by scattering the stones on the ground, tossing one into the air and catching the others before the stone up in the air lands on the ground. The game progresses to catching more than one stone at the same time and the final stage of the game will involve contestants catching multiple stones simultaneously having thrown all five stones into the air. That's not all, players must also balance them on the back of one hand and then toss them back into the air and catch them again. A game of skill and patience is involved! Biseokchigi This is another stone throwing game with a long history, and the goal of the game is to toss your own stone to hit and knock over the other players, from a distance of 2.5 - 3 meters. The show, shows players playing a more simplified version where the player aims to knock over standing stones. What is your favorite Korean children's game?
