A contestant wins the game
by answering 15 questions in a row correctly. The winner receives $1.00.
(I always take a digital picture of the winner holding their dollar, so
I can print it out for them as a keepsake, and so I can add it to my
class webpage.) If the contestant makes a mistake, they lose, and are
thanked for being a contestant on "Who Wants to Be a Dollaraire?"
They leave with a dime if they made it past the tenth question, a nickel
if they made it past the fifth question, or nothing if they didn't make
it past the fifth question. There
are three "Lifelines" on "Who Wants to Be a
Millionaire?" In our modified version there are also three
lifelines, but with slightly different variations: Phone
a Friend = Ask a Friend - Contestant
may ask one person in the classroom for assistance with a question. Poll
the Audience = Poll the Class - The
students in the class raise their hands when the emcee (teacher) reads
each answer choice. The contestant can see by the number of hands raised
which answer receives the most votes. 50/50
= 50/50 - Teacher removes two of the wrong
answers leaving the correct answer and one incorrect answer for the
contestant to choose from. |
