120 Would You Rather Questions for Kids

Would You Rather questions for kids are simple two-choice prompts that encourage children to pick an option and explain their decision. They can be used as a family game, classroom icebreaker, road-trip activity, party game or dinner-table conversation starter.

The game requires no special equipment. One person asks a question beginning with “Would you rather…?”, every player chooses one of the two options, and each child can explain why they made that choice. Asking “Why?” or “What would change your answer?” often creates the most interesting part of the conversation.

How to Play "Would You Rather?"

Choose one question from the list.
Read both options aloud.
Give every child a few seconds to decide.
Ask each player to choose only one option.
Let them explain their answer.
Move to the next question or discuss the choice further.

There is no correct answer. Keep the game light, allow different opinions and avoid mocking a child’s choice.

Would You Rather can be more than a boredom-busting game. Choosing between two options encourages children to compare ideas, make decisions and explain their reasoning. In classrooms, it can also be used for communication, social initiation, morning meetings and small-group discussions.

Parents and teachers can extend each prompt by asking:

Why did you choose that option?
What would make you change your mind?
What might another person choose?
Can you create a third option?
Can you turn your answer into a drawing or story?
