Ideas for Using These “Would You Rather” Questions

“Would You Rather” is a versatile game that can be adapted to fit any type of gathering or social situation. Here are some creative ideas to ensure your game is fun, engaging, and memorable:

• Thanksgiving Dinner Table Fun: Introduce “Would You Rather” as a fun activity during your Thanksgiving night meal. Pass around the list of questions or simply take turns asking questions at random.
• Thanksgiving Party Icebreaker: Use “Would You Rather” questions as an icebreaker at your Thanksgiving party to get people talking and laughing, especially if some guests are meeting for the first time or need a little extra encouragement to mingle.
• Family Game Night: Make “Would You Rather” a part of your family game night in between more traditional games.
• Make It Active: Instead of having participants respond to each question, have them move to the left or right to suit their answers. This is a great active break for kids in the classroom but it works for any age group and makes the game more interactive!

Conversation starters for families can be helpful to get kids talking. Try these conversation starters for kids, teens, and couples, conversation starters for family dinner & Would You Rather questions for kids to get everyone talking!
