Would You Rather?

Would You Rather? is one of those wonderfully simple games that can spark lots of laughs and some surprisingly thoughtful conversations.

All you do is take turns asking each other fun or silly questions where you have to choose between two options. There’s no right or wrong answer — just a chance to be playful and get talking.

It’s ideal for filling quiet moments at home, breaking up car journeys, or livening up mealtimes. You can keep it light and funny for younger children, or add slightly trickier choices for older kids to think about.

3. Keep It Going
   Keep asking for as long as everyone’s enjoying it!
