EVALUATION ACTIVITY AT A GLANCE 

Based on the popular TV game show, “Who Wants to be a Millionaire?”, this 

activity allows students to put their food safety knowledge to the test. It reinforces 

safe food handling practices, promotes cooperative learning, encourages class 

participation, and reviews the food safety unit in a fun, interactive way. On Day 1, 

students create their own evaluation questions based on what they’ve learned from 

the Dr. X and the Quest for Food Safety video, activities, and labs. Then, on Day 2, 

they play the game, using the questions as an evaluation exercise.
