Students correctly answer questions to reach the top of the mountain. How far will they make it up the mountain? As they progress higher up the mountain, the scenery will change. At the end, a polaroid is taken of how far they made it up the mountain with a score.

This version of the game focuses on building vocabulary linked to a supermarket setting. Students will explore terms commonly found in grocery stores, from everyday items and store sections to signage and staff roles. With every correct answer, they climb closer to the peak!

Designed as a cooperative game, Supermarket Vocabulary Let’s Hike encourages teamwork when more than one player is involved. Students must discuss, agree, and work together to select the correct vocabulary word from three options, helping their team reach new heights.
