How to Use Would You Rather Questions in the Classroom

There are so many great ways to use would you rather questions. I have found a ton of different ways to bring would you rather questions into your classroom. 

Some of my favorite ways are:

• Morning Circle– Each day of the week, display a different would you rather question for your students to think about and discuss with their friends. 

• Class Sign-in- Display the question over a pocket chart and have the students move their names to one side of the chart or the other side, depending on their answer. 

• Connection to Family Activity- Send one home on Fridays for families to discuss over the weekend. You could also give families a little cheat sheet that gives them extension question ideas to keep the conversation going and their little ones thinking. Then 

• Would you Rather Book-  Create a book to go home full of would you rather questions

• Opinion-based Discussions- If you are starting argumentative writing in your classroom, using would you rather questions allows students to see how their opinions can differ from their classmates.

• Writing Prompt- Older students could use would you rather questions as writing prompts. They can get your students to practice making a claim and supporting that call with reasons. 

• Transition Time – Use them as a quick transition time game where students can move to show their preferences. For example, stand if you prefer dogs and sit if you prefer cats.

There are many other places you could add in would you rather questions. They are so exciting and entertaining for preschoolers that they will ask for more and more questions!
