Tip: Anna *3 gives Anna three chances.

🖼️ Photos

Add pictures of people, pets or things. Each photo takes its file's name (ava.jpg becomes "Ava") and appears in every game. Photos stay on this device and are not in share links.

    Tip: start a name with an emoji, like 🍕 Pizza, for a picture without a photo.

      Ways to use this list

      • Morning circle with 5 to 7 year olds: read the question, then children shuffle to the window side or the door side of the rug to show their choice.
      • Persuasive writing in Years 3 to 6: draw a Thinking question and have pupils write "I would rather… because…" with three reasons.
      • Small-group talk: questions like lots of friends or one best friend help a quiet child explain what matters to them, with no right answer to get wrong.
      • Smart board warm-ups: put the card draw in fullscreen and let the class vote with thumbs up for the first choice and thumbs down for the second.
      • Bedtime: one silly question each night soon becomes a small ritual that young children ask for by name.

      Press Draw a card, tap the game or press the Space bar. Change the list in the box as you like: add your own, delete what doesn't suit you, or write *2 after an entry to give it double the chance. The game buttons switch the same list to a wheel, duck race, hat and more.

      Questions people ask

      What makes a good would you rather question for kids?

      Two choices that are both a little wonderful or both a little gross, so there is no obvious winner. Arguing about why is the best part, and it is surprisingly good thinking practice.

      Can I print these would you rather questions?

      The full list is written out further down this page, so you can print it from your browser or copy it into a worksheet. Cut the questions into strips for a jar on the classroom shelf.

      How do I use these questions to teach reasoning?

      Ask every child to finish the sentence "I would rather… because…", then invite one child from each side to change someone's mind. Thinking ones work best, since both answers have real reasons.

      How is this different from the would you rather wheel?

      The would you rather wheel mixes questions for every age, teens and adults included. These were written for children, with sillier choices and simpler words.
