3 Ways to Use “Would You Rather” Questions
“Would you rather” questions are awesome to use as components of party games or just conversation topics. Here are a few ways you can use them for fun in various social situations!
Introduction Tools
If you’re a camp counselor or a teacher, a “would you rather” game can be used as a way of introducing everyone. There’s less pressure for shy people to come up with something to say on the spot because there are only two options, but the answers to the questions will still tell you something interesting about each individual. As an exercise, you could go around and have each person state his or her name and answer a hard “would you rather” question.
Ice Breakers for Dates and Parties
The best “would you rather” questions can be great for getting to know new people. You can learn more about their perspectives on life and figure out whether their senses of humor line up with yours. These questions will always spark interesting discussions if you’re at a loss for what to say next.
Drinking Games
There are lots of drinking games you could play with these questions, but here’s a simple one I invented. Pose a funny “would you rather” question to the group, and have everyone write down the option they would choose without revealing it to anyone else. Then, pick one person to start the game. Have everyone else make guesses about which choice that person made. After the person explains his or her real choice, those who guessed incorrectly have to drink!
These are just a few examples of things you can do with good “would you rather” questions. The possibilities are virtually infinite if you’re willing to get a little creative! Break these out at your next party to incite some interesting discussions and find out which of your friends has the most surprising priorities.
