These questions are great for practicing critical thinking because they require your students to evaluate two different, but seemingly equally appealing (or unappealing) options and choose one.
Use these questions…
Whether you call these questions “Would You Rather” or “This or That,” your students will have a blast thinking about them.
When using the questions with the whole class, it can be valuable to have kids first choose by a show of hands and then discuss the question. Ask students to share why they chose one option or another. Then pose the question a second time to allow students the opportunity to choose a different option. This exercise is not only fun, but it also helps kids become more flexible on their thought patterns. Rather than holding onto an idea no matter what, they learn to consider other’s opinions. Add a little action to the game by having students move to one part of the room or another depending on their answer.
You could extend the activity by having students create their own Would you rather… questions. Writing Would you rather… questions requires kids to not only create two options, but to also evaluate whether or not those options are roughly equal in appeal. Part of the process is answering the questions, so be sure and give students an opportunity to share their questions with each others!
Teacher Tip
Here’s what teachers are saying:
✏️ “I love this resource because I use it as a brain break and as a filler activity whenever we have extra time. It’s fun, it’s creative and different which makes it more interesting to students, and they learn the conditional tense without ever cracking a textbook! Hooray for CI!” -Deirdre K.
✏️ “These questions were used as an ice breaker for our first online meeting. The students enjoyed the variety of questions and had a lot of giggles. Will definitely use it in the classroom when social distancing will need to happen and the traditional getting to know you/group work activities won’t be able to happen this year.” -Amy P.
✏️ “My students completed one activity per day. They LOVED these prompts. We continued using them once we went to online learning at the end of the year. I will definitely use these next year!!!” -Diane P.

I teach small groups and I use these questions to line up for dismissal. The kids LOVE sharing their choice and it’s a great way for me to get to know them even better!

These are so great and came in handy when I had to sub for a pretty difficult class. This gave them something to talk about and engage in early in the morning during our morning meeting!

This is a great resource! My students will love this for an activity on a day when there is a substitute. There are so many to choose from. Very versatile!
Becky E. –
I used this both in class and also when I was a distance learning teacher. It really motivates my students. We had some good laughs over the reason why some answers were chosen. I have even used them at birthday parties.

This resource was a great activity for the last week of school. The students participated in great discussion about their choices and stayed engaged with the activity throughout the week.
Love Teaching Must Travel –
My students love these type of questions. I used this as an opening to our opinion writing unit and it was so much fun. I imagine I could use this as centers once I teach expectations for writing. Thanks for a wonderful resource!
