Fight Summer Boredom With These 100 'Would You Rather' Questions for Kids

Kids really do say the darndest things and their responses to adults can range from funny to downright clever. That's why kid-friendly activities like the "Would You Rather" game are so much fun. Not only does asking them "Would You Rather" questions elicit some answers that may surprise you, but it also gives you valuable insight into their minds. These questions are especially great for parents as well as teachers to use with kindergarteners, grade school kids, middle schoolers, and teen students.

As you can see, this list of "Would You Rather" questions for kids — which range from funny and silly to more challenging and thought-provoking — does more than help you connect with an important child in your life, it also allows you to learn a little bit more about them, more so than giving them funny riddles to solve or having them guess the punchlines of hilarious jokes. From finding out how they feel about personal space (like with the question “Would you rather spend your time surrounded by people or mostly by yourself?”) to learning how they feel about their schoolwork (like with the question “Would you rather have to read a whole book or take a hard math test?”), their critical thinking skills will be put to the test in the best and most educational way possible.

Check out this list of the best "Would You Rather" questions for kids of all ages to exercise their brains (and yours). We promise this will keep your family or classroom of students entertained for hours.
