Are You Smarter Than A....

I love this show.  Even though it makes me feel dumb.  I rarely know the 5th grade answers.  And I think those little genius kids up there on their panel already know the questions.  There's no way those kids are that smart, or that excited to be there.  

Anyway, I thought it might be fun to play my own little game.  (These are actually all from my kids' curriculum.)  Play along if you want to feel dumb, too.
