How to Play Would You Rather With Kids
Read both options out fully before anyone answers. Half the fun is in the pause, and a child who hears the second option while still picturing the first will jump in with the wrong one.
Make them explain. "Why?" is where the game actually lives — the answer is rarely as funny as the reason, and it turns a ten-second game into a twenty-minute one.
Let them make up their own. A child who has heard thirty of these will invent a better one, and it will almost always involve an animal doing something it should not.
What Makes a Good Would You Rather Question for a Child
Both options have to be genuinely tempting, or it is not a choice — it is a quiz. "Fly or be invisible" works because you lose something either way. "Have a million pounds or a broken leg" does not.
Keep it concrete. Younger children answer better when they can picture it, so a talking dog beats an abstract idea every time.
Nothing frightening, nothing about money, nothing they would need an adult to explain. Everything on this page passes that test.
Where to Find More
