Would You Rather is a wonderful game for engaging young children and teaching them to think and reason. Play it at home, in class, while driving or prepping dinner.
This is a fun collection of Would You Rather questions for preschoolers, kindergarteners and even older kids.
It’s fun for all ages, including adults, so be sure to tweak the questions to make them age-appropriate if you’re playing it with small children.
To play the game, give children a choice between two options and ask them to justify their choice with reasons.
The options can be things you’d rather be, rather have, rather do, etc.
This game teaches critical thinking skills, an important part of a child’s cognitive development in early childhood.
It also builds vocabulary, decision-making skills and listening skills.
Would You Rather is a fun way to get kids used to answering open-ended questions. It gives them a chance to think about the choices and find words to explain the option they prefer.
At first, it will be very difficult for a young preschooler to put into words why they’ve made a certain choice, but with time and maturity, they will learn to organize their thoughts and ‘argue’ their reasoning.
This game is also fun for engaging in a friendly debate and learning to listen to other’s viewpoints. Teach kids that it’s ok to change your mind as you think things through.
Some of these are silly and funny questions, while others are more serious.
