7th Grade Confirmation Class
Version of
Who wants to be A Millionaire

This activity was developed to test the group's knowledge of the Sacraments in a relaxed and fun way. You can also write questions in other areas of the Small Catechism or other subjects covered in Confirmation. I wrote the answers on an easel pad that was placed in a wooden frame that the students could see. The questions and answers can also be written in a PowerPoint presentation if you are familiar with PowerPoint. You will need a LCD projector so that student can see the questions on the screen or on a blank wall.

Directions: Divide the class into groups in which everyone will get to answer a question. Each individual in the group will have four questions to get to 100 pts. The first question is worth 25 pts, the 2nd question is 50 pts, the 3rd question 75 pts, and 4th question is 100 pts and the group that goes the furthest will also get a prize. If you cannot answer the question, you have 2 lifelines: ask your group and 50-50 which will give you answer that is right and one that is wrong and take the other two answers away.
