Millionaire, I wish!



Who wants to be a millionaire (everyone) is a type of resource I use to recap on work and at times use for revision purposes. It is an alternative to the traditional pen paper resource. The millionaire game has been tried and tested in my classes and has worked wonders but it does have its disadvantages.
Certain students do get put on the spot when asked a question therefore changing it into group work helped and students interact more. Students that find it difficult to grasp the game and read the questions are given handouts. The colour, the font and the layout can be problem for the students depending on the level and whom I play this game with. This game is good for Inclusion every students can take part and answer questions.

Overall the millionaire game is fun, enjoyable, exciting, encourages student interaction and ensures learning is taking place. Another good point is that the game is flexible and the questions can be adjusted to the level you are teaching at.

so what are those disadvantages? Support the pro and cons with direct ref to texts and this would be ideal
