Would You Rather Questions For KidsHave you ever found yourself playing “would you rather” with your children.

I swear this game has magical properties. Not only do kids love it, but the questions seem to get even the most reluctant child talking. As a Mom and youth group leader I’ve found that Would You Rather questions are a great thing to have up your sleeve. Why do I say this? You can pull them out on

  • Road trips
  • In the doctor’s office, at the restaurant, or standing in line to ride the Sky Scream roller coaster (not me!)

Or use them as

  • Conversation starters
  • Icebreakers
  • To provide impromptu entertainment for any group of kids
  • A way to get to know your kids a little better



Would You Rather is a game in which players have to choose between two options. These questions can range from simple, to funny, to thought provoking. would you rather

  • eat a raw potato or a lemon?
  • sneeze cheese or laugh jellybeans?
  • live in Narnia or go to school at Hogwarts?

I’m not sure about that last one. I mean how do you choose between Narnia and Hogwarts? Seriously, though, this game is a lot of fun and is a great way to connect with your kids.

And you know what? Anyone can come up with Would You Rather questions and kids are particularly good at it. Still it is good to have a whole wack of them ready to go, so you don’t have to think. You know those days when your parent brain is fried. So you simply cannot think of anything more original than, “Would you rather eat an apple or an orange?”

So, I set out to create a list of the best Would You Rather questions for kids. It turns out that you can find lots of these questions online. Unfortunately you end up wading through quite of the most boring questions ever. Things like “Would you rather go on a slide or swing on swing?” or “Would you rather play hide and seek or dodge ball?” They were rather boring and not likely to elicit discussion or giggles.

I spent hours reading through dozens of Would You Rather questions for kids. Then I put together a list of the best questions for you.

child laughing


I didn’t have a long list of criteria, but I wanted to make sure that all the questions were

  • Clean and family friendly.
  • Fun and light. This isn’t the kind of game that you want to bog down with difficult scenarios.
  • Questions that parents would enjoy as much as the kids. There’s nothing worse than trying to muster up enthusiasm for a game that is dull.

Some are good icebreakers. Others will make your kids laugh and a few of them will make the whole family think. There are questions for younger kids and others that will be perfect for tweens and teens.

All you have to do is take a quick read through and pick the questions that are just right for your children!

  1. Thanks for all the inspiration! This is a great way to get my kids to actually talk to me! Because most of the time when I ask them questions like “How was school today?” I only get “Good”. And when I then ask “Okay what was good? ” or “Was everything good” I get “yeah everything”. But these questions let them make think about what they feel. Great!
