In short

Would you rather questions for kids give two simple, silly choices, like “Would you rather have a pet dragon or a pet unicorn?”, and ask children to pick one and say why. They are great for car trips, dinner and classrooms because there is no wrong answer. Here are 60+ original questions in six groups, written in short words for young readers. Read them aloud, print free cards, or play with a grown-up hosting the free online game.

A Would You Rather question for kids in play on two choice cards

How to play Would You Rather with kids

Pick a deck. A grown-up opens the kids deck in a free room, or reads a question aloud.
Choose in secret. Everyone picks A or B on their own phone. Nobody sees a choice until every pick is in.
Predict a friend. Guess what one named player chose for 2 points. Every third round, guess how many people chose A.
Reveal and ask why. The room shows every pick and keeps score. The last round is worth 4 points.

No phones? Read a question aloud, count to three, and everyone points left for A or right for B.

Common questions about Would You Rather

What are good would you rather questions for kids?

Simple choices between two fun things, like “ride a dolphin or ride an eagle?” or “pizza for breakfast or pancakes for dinner?”. Keep both options good, so nobody feels they picked wrong, and always ask “why?” afterwards.

What age are these questions for?

They are written in short words for children of about 5 to 10. Younger children can answer with a grown-up reading, and older children enjoy the funny questions too.

Can children play the online game?

Yes, with a grown-up hosting. The grown-up opens a free private room and shares the link; players join with a first name or nickname and no account. Nothing is published, and the room closes when you are done.

How do you use would you rather in a classroom?

Read a question aloud and ask children to move to one side of the room for the first choice and the other side for the second. Ask one child from each side to explain. The free PDF has 24 cards to cut out and draw from a hat.
