Click above to see the poster

*Also thank you to Linda for helping with some of the questions!

This is a fun night of Mormon (LDS) Trivia full of gospel questions and you add your own ward questions. It is based off of the television show called, "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?"

Have a large poster board prepared with a crown. Make 8 pretty jewels to stick on the crown with either Velcro or re-stickable tape.

When each person arrives, have them put their name on a slip of paper for random drawings of those to go up and play.

Set the chairs up in a large circle around the question asker and the person playing the game. They must face each other. The person play should have a stand or something similar with the poster board of the crown in front.

Each time the person answers a question right, they receive a jewel in their Celestial Crown. Every 3^rd question they can walk away with just the satisfaction of knowing that they have the jewels in their crown or they can continue to become a Celestialaire! There are 8 questions for each person to answer.

Each person has 3 life-lines.

Phone a friend, is ask a friend in the audience or a member of the Bishopric.

Poll the audience is just that. To poll the audience, read the question aloud and have them raise their hands for the ones they think are right.

Elimination. You choose two hard ones to eliminate, leaving the answer and one other one to choose from.

Above is a sample poster to use for announcing your night of fun! Be sure to "Save as" on your computer, and copy it into a word processing program and resize it.
