Million Dollar Question

Adapt the TV Show.  It's easy to do and works well.  The game show format uses the equivalent of a four-alternative multiple choice question.  We play the game much like it's done of TV.  Students in the class are one of the lifelines.  In place of cash, I award prizes from the school store.  Just like the TV version, they can opt to keep the prizes an sit down, or keep working to win the pizza.  Since only one student is in the hot seat at a time, it's important to keep things moving quickly and to keep the others involved as much as possible.   (How about a "random" lifeline where the student draws the name of somene in the class who can thn help-or not?)
