1. Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?!

2. Goal: Reach $1,000,000 4 teams of 7-8 students  This is your “audience” when you use a life-line. Each person on each team will answer the given question individually. If you are stuck, you can use a life-line. Each team gets 4 life-lines: 2 “phone a friend”  choose someone on your team to bail you out 2 “ask the audience”  discuss with your entire team the correct answer

3. Each Q you answer correctly, you earn a level on the board. If you answer incorrectly, you move down a level on the board. Goal is to reach $1,000,000

4. PRIZES 1 - $100 2 - $200 3 - $500 4 - $1,000 5 - $2,000 6 - $4,000 7 - $6,000 8 - $8,000 9- $10,000 10- $20,000 11 - $30,000 12 - $50,000 13 - $75,000 14 - $100,000 15 - $200,000 16 - $350,000 17 - $500,000 18 - $750,000 19 - $900,000 20 - $1,000,000
