Would You Rather Questions for Kids
If you’ve ever been stuck in a car on a long road trip with your kids asking “Are we there yet?” every five minutes, or found yourself trying to fill those awkward silences at the dinner table, you’re in the right place. Enter: Would You Rather Questions, the ultimate boredom buster!
“Would you rather” questions are not only hilarious and fun, but they’re also a great way to spark creativity, encourage critical thinking, and get kids talking. Whether you’re a teacher looking for a great classroom icebreaker, a parent planning a slumber party, or just trying to survive a rainy afternoon indoors, this list has you covered.
I have put together tons of fun and kid-friendly “Would You Rather” questions in all sorts of categories, silly, gross (but not too gross), imaginative, food-related, animal-themed, and more!
Why Kids Love “Would You Rather” Questions
Kids love choices. They love being asked their opinion. And they definitely love being a little silly. “Would you rather” questions give them all of that in one easy game. It’s a no-prep activity that works at home, in the classroom, in the car, or anywhere you want to get giggles going and brains thinking.
The best part? There’s no right or wrong answer. Just fun discussions (and probably a few arguments over who chose the “cooler” option).
How to Play “Would You Rather”
There are no strict rules, which is part of the magic. But here are a few simple ways to use these questions:
- One-on-One: Ask back and forth and explain your answers.
- Group Game: Read a question out loud, and everyone picks one side. You can stand on different sides of the room to represent your answer.
- Writing Activity: For older kids, use them as creative writing prompts.
- Classroom Icebreaker: A fun way for students to get to know each other at the start of the year.
- Party Fun: Great for birthday parties, sleepovers, or family nights.
