Funny Would You Rather Questions to Use in Class

To make playing Would You Rather in class as fun as possible, be sure to use funny questions that will get students laughing, thinking, and excited to join in. Would You Rather is a simple game where you ask a question with two choices, and students have to pick one. No choosing both! For example: “Would you rather eat nothing but ice cream for a year or nothing but pizza?”

Below are 10 funny Would You Rather questions that are perfect for a game of Would You Rather in class. To help you run the game, you’ll also find a free PowerPoint to display the questions and a printable worksheet you can hand out if you want your students to write down their answers.

Funny Would You Rather Questions

1. Would you rather have a robot that does your homework or that cleans your room?

This is a good one to start with if you’re playing Would You Rather in class. In my experience, students always choose the homework robot over the cleaning robot.

2. Would you rather be a math genius or a musical genius?

This is a tough one! On the one hand, being a math genius could mean solving some of the most challenging problems in the world. On the other, being a musical genius could lead to becoming a super cool music star. I know which one I’d choose!

3. Would you rather have three eyes or three ears?

Here’s a silly one you can ask young learners to get them thinking. To make it even more fun, turn it into an activity by asking students to reveal what they would rather do by drawing themselves with three eyes or three ears, and then share their drawings with the class.

4. Would you rather be fluent in every language or be able to speak to animals?

You’ll probably find that the answer to this one depends on the students’ age. Young learners often choose speaking to animals, while teenagers tend to see the benefit of being fluent in every language. It’s a tough one for sure.

5. Would you rather be a cat or a dog?

Personally, I’d rather be a cat, spending the day napping in the sun, chasing anything that moves, and demanding head scratches whenever I feel like it. How about you?

6. Would you rather eat nothing but ice cream or nothing but pizza for a year?

A year is a long time! I’m sure either of these choices would leave me feeling sick. I’ll go for pizza… no, ice cream… no, pizza… oh, I can’t decide!

7. Would you rather be able to fly or be invisible?

Asking a “Would You Rather” question with superpowers is a great way to get students’ imaginations going. Tip: After asking if they would rather fly or be invisible, come up with two more superpowers and ask again. Or better yet, have students invent their own superpowers and ask their classmates what they would rather do.

8. Would you rather be a great dancer or a great singer?

Well, if one person is a great singer and their friend is a great dancer, then together they could make a famous music duo. Now that sounds like fun!

9. Would you rather meet a famous person or meet aliens?

I’m going to choose aliens, because not only would it be incredible to be the first human to talk with life from another planet, but I’m sure that after my alien encounter, any famous person I wanted to meet would love to hear my stories.

10. Would you rather be a spider for a day or an ant for a day?

This is another one to spark students’ imaginations. Remind them it’s only for one day, then ask them to imagine what the daily life of a spider or an ant would be. Would they spend the day spinning webs or running around with their ant friends all day?

How To Play Would You Rather in Class?

Would You Rather is a great game to play in class to get students speaking, but it can get heated if you’re not careful. Before you start, remind students that there are no wrong answers and that they should listen to and respect each other’s opinions.

When you’re ready to play, ask a question with two options and check that students understand both choices. Remind them they can only pick one. For example: “Would you rather fly or be invisible?”

Have students share their choice, either by raising their hands, speaking out, or writing it down first. Encourage them to answer in full sentences, such as “I would rather fly because…”

Once everyone has shared their choice, ask if anyone has changed their mind after hearing the other students’ reasoning. You can also give them extra time to try and convince their friends to switch answers. A fun variation is to have students stand on opposite sides of the classroom based on their choice, then take turns explaining why people from the other side should switch over.

Thanks for reading. I hope your students enjoy playing Would You Rather with these questions and have plenty of laughs along the way. Happy teaching!
