Millionaire Games for Kids

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire Kids Edition

• "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" is a trivia game based on the hit television show, but features questions that are made for kids. The format is identical to the show, as the questions are multiple choice with four possible correct answers. The questions focus on subjects like boy bands, movies, pop stars, sports and cartoons. Kids can accrue points in the form of money and finish the game feeling almost like a millionaire.

Simpsons Millionaire Game

• The Simpsons Millionaire Game is an online game that boasts the same trivia format as "Who Wants to be a Millionaire." Instead of myriad questions on random topics, this game focuses mainly on trivia centered around "The Simpsons" television show. The questions start out simple, asking the player for details that someone who doesn&'t watch the show may be able to answer, such as "What color skin do the Simpsons have?" However, the questions become progressively harder, asking you trivia about specific episodes, such as "What did Shelbyville steal from Springfield?" If you answer incorrectly, you return to the initial level. Each correct answer, however, gives you an increasing sum of money. You can find this game at websites such as RichGamer.com.

Math Millionaire

• The website MathPlayground.com offers a game called "Math Millionaire." The format is one math question and four possible right answers. For example, one question might be, "A baseball team won four games, but lost 20. What fraction of the games that they played did they win?" Once you select an answer, a picture of a character, who closely resembles Einstein, standing behind a podium asks you if you&'re sure. If you answer "yes" and you are correct, you win more money and advance to the next level. If your answer is wrong, you return to the starting level. This is a fun way to interest and excite kids about math, even if they&'re just winning pretend money.
