Who Wants to be a Millionaire


	Who Wants to be a Millionaire? The staff at Victoria Settlement Provincial Historic Site during the summer of 2001 assembled the following list of questions to be used as questions for a "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" style game. The game can be played in several ways. It can be played like they do on tv where students or adults are asked to put a list of events in order and the fastest one to list the correct answers get to attempt 14 questions that go from being fairly easy to extremely challenging. The contestant has three "lifelines". That is, he or she has three ways of getting help, each of which can only be used one. The contestant can poll the audience (this can be done by a show of hands), phone a friend (or ask a classmate for help) or have two of the possible answers removed. The game could also be played in teams or as a collective group. If you're playing as a whole class then the class only has one lifeline - that of having two possible answers removed. If you're playing with individual contestants and you want the game to go faster then limit the number of questions (maybe 4 or 6) and give only one or two lifelines. The questions should be asked from easiest to hardest. If the contestant or team gets one wrong, its the next contestants turn.
