Would You Rather?

A Game Kids of All Ages Love

By Jeffrey Willey Macaroni KID Winston-Salem Publisher July 11, 2024

"Would You Rather?" is a simple and fun game that can be played anywhere and at any time. It's perfect for family gatherings, long car rides, or just as a fun way to pass the time. The game involves asking a series of questions where the players must choose between two equally appealing or unappealing options. I could not stop laughing this weekend as I watched the expressions on V and ViGi's faces as the silly questions rolled out. Here’s how to play and some funny questions to get you started!

How to Play "Would You Rather?"

  1. Gather Your Players: You can play with as few as two people, but it's often more fun with a larger group.
  2. Ask a Question: One person starts by asking a "Would you rather?" question. For example, “Would you rather have spaghetti for hair or pancakes for feet?”
  3. Make a Choice: Each player must choose one of the two options. They can explain their choice if they want, but it’s not required.
  4. Take Turns: After everyone has answered, the next person in line asks their "Would you rather?" question.
  5. Keep It Fun: The goal is to have fun and maybe learn something new about each other. There are no right or wrong answers!
