Funny Would You Rather Questions to Entertain Your Kids

[table-of-contents] stripped

Whether you're looking for a fun activity for family time that isn't your usual board game, you need a boredom buster for the next road trip, or you're searching for a way to connect more deeply with the littles at the dinner table, Would You Rather questions for kids definitely fill the bill. Like Truth or Dare, it's been a beloved staple at slumber parties for decades, maybe because it's so easy (and fun!) to play. Participants are simply asked to choose between two hypothetical situations, from the super silly to the somewhat serious, and then talk about why they made their decision.

What's really nice about playing Would You Rather with your children is that it supports open communication in a lighthearted way. It helps you learn what's important to them and helps them learn to problem solve, think critically and creatively and make decisions. It's an enjoyable way to get to know what they value and why!

Below, we've rounded up 200 Would You Rather questions. Some are great for grade schoolers, others are more appropriate for teens, but all are a guaranteed good time. They're conveniently grouped by topic, like Gross ("Would you rather eat dog food or cat food?"); Fantasy ("Would you rather jump on a cloud or slide down a rainbow?"); and Sports ("Would you rather compete alone or compete in a team sport?"). Pick your favorites and get the party (and the learning!) started.
