I would love to have a copy of your cards for the game.  Thanks for sharing.  My kids did an auction before winter break and wanted to do one again but I didn't want to do the exact same thing and wanted to work it into a more meaningful experience.  This is just what I was looking for!

  No, each of the second set of envelopes contained five cards (business card 
size) - each card with instructions for a small task or quiz. Once they 
completed all five cards, they could choose a prize. The kids each received 
two prizes that day. The first prize they chose in order according to how 
many points they had earned. ie: Shawney chose first (any prize she 
wanted) with 13,000 points; Steve chose next (any prize he wanted from 
those that were left) with 10,000 points, etc etc. on down the line. It was 
just way less complicated than assigning point values to the prizes. After 
they had each chosen a prize, then we had the Survivor Challenge for the 
next prize - and that was first to finish got to grab a prize. The fun part 
was sitting back and watching them scramble to get their cards completed, 
stopping to help someone else complete his, and laughing at what the others 
were doing.
Helpful hint: put a time limit on the scripture scramble - so that even if 
some haven't put it together yet, they must leave it and move on to the 
tasks. (I used a long scripture - D&C 1:37-38)
I have 20 students. For a smaller class you may want to add an extra card 
or two to the envelopes; or make the tasks a bit more time consuming, 
depending on how much time you want to spend. With my 20 students it took 
about 10 to 15 minutes. There are lots of possibilities here.
I have my cards saved on the comp. if anyone wants copies. Some of the 
cards contain pictures.
