Would You Rather Questions for Kids

One hundred and twenty silly questions, two answers each, and zero wrong choices: welcome to would you rather for kids. The rule takes ten seconds to explain, even to the littlest players. Read the question, everyone votes for their favorite answer, and the percentages instantly show what other players around the world picked. Dragon or unicorn? Invisible or flying? Castle or spaceship? There are no tricks, just choices impossible to make without smiling.

The whole pack was written for kids and family time: simple words, ideas that make eyes light up, and not a single question that stings. The question families cover a kid's entire universe: animals, magic powers, home and school, sweet treats, imagination, friends, vacations, magical objects, swapping roles with the grown-ups, sports, nature and showtime.

Would you rather questions for kids that get the whole table talking

The secret of these would you rather questions for kids is that they have no right answer: they have arguments. Ask a kid whether they'd rather have a talking dog or a cat that does their homework, and listen to the closing statement that follows. Parents discover how their kids reason, kids discover that their opinion counts, and everyone discovers that dad would have picked snapping his fingers to make candy appear without a moment's hesitation.

It's also the perfect car game, waiting room game or family dinner game: no equipment, no setup, no losers. One question is enough to launch a ten-minute debate about whether it's better to ride a dinosaur to school or fly a flying saucer to school. And the online vote adds the surprise that makes it all work: finding out that 80 percent of the world chose the dragon, right after you defended the unicorn with your whole heart, is a very funny little lesson in democracy.

Some questions even hide real grown-up debates. Three wishes right now, or one wish every year forever? Kids who can count start using their fingers, and the table turns into a playground. Win as a team or win all by yourself? That's a philosophy question wearing a schoolyard costume.

One parent-tested tip: these questions are also a bedtime conversation machine. A single question at dinner works far better than the "how was school?" that never works. Try "would you rather be the boss of the house or be the boss of the school?", and you'll suddenly learn a lot about what happens inside a kid's week.

How to play the 120 questions as a family

Start with the animals and the magic powers, the favorites of the youngest players, then let everyone pick their favorite family: the foodies will head for the sweet treats, the adventurers for the vacations, the performers for showtime. Everyone votes on their own, then you compare, defend your side and laugh. The world's votes shift every day: play again next month and check whether the dragon is still winning. The full list of all 120 questions is right below: pick one, vote, debate. The only risk is not wanting to stop. And if a grown-up quietly votes for the flying broomstick, nobody has to know.
