Who Wants To Be A Millionaire - ESL Reading Activities For Kids Adults
Who Wants to Be a Millionaire is a fun ESL game to play for all ages and most skill levels.
The game is great for testing students’ reading comprehension and critical thinking skills.
Give the class a minute to find the answer in the text. The first student to give the correct
answer scores 100 points. Then, write your second question on the board. Give the class a
couple of minutes this time. Reward whoever answers it with 200 points.
Lastly, write your third question on the board. You may want to give the class extra time to
think about this one since it is the most challenging. Anyone who can answer the final
question correctly gets 300 points.
At this point, the class should understand the general goal of the game.
To start the activity, divide the class into small teams. Each team must create a series of
questions based on the text. They should come up with three easy questions, two moderate
questions, and one challenging question. When the teams are thinking of questions to ask,
have them divide the work amongst their team members. For example, some students could
work on the easy questions while others in the group could focus on the more challenging
questions.
Give them about 10 minutes to create their question list on paper. Monitor and assist the
teams as they read and prepare their lists.
