Christmas Would You Rather Questions for All Ages
Published
Christmas would you rather questions give two festive choices and no wrong answer, such as sledding or ice skating, or a pet reindeer or a pet penguin. They suit all ages and need nothing but a room to play in.
For Kids and Class
Would you rather be an elf or a reindeer? Have a pet reindeer or a pet penguin? Live at the North Pole or on a sunny beach? Build a snowman or bake cookies? Ride in a sleigh or on a train?
Point to one side of the room for each answer and let students walk to their choice. Then ask two or three of them why, which turns it into speaking practice for the last day before the break.
For the Family
Would you rather open one gift early or wait for all of them? Have snow all year or never see it again? Sing carols or watch a Christmas movie? Wrap every gift or trim the whole tree?
Spin between courses, or while the cookies bake. Everyone from grandparents to little cousins can answer, and nobody needs to know any rules.
For the Office Party
Would you rather wear a silly sweater all week or elf shoes for one day? Organize the party or clean up after it? Eat only cookies until New Year or only candy canes? Sit next to the speakers or next to the snacks?
Put the wheel on the big screen and take a show of hands. It’s an easy warm-up before the gift swap.
How to Play
Read a question out or spin the wheel. Everyone picks a side, by moving or by raising a hand, and the smaller side gets to explain itself. To keep score, give a point to whoever makes the funniest case.
You can type in your own questions, such as family in-jokes or the names of your class’s favorite books, and save the wheel to use again next year.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many questions do I need?
About ten fill a short game. Everyone will want to argue over the best ones, so they go further than you’d think.
Are these questions fine for a classroom?
Yes. They’re festive and clean, and they don’t ask anyone about gifts they did or didn’t get.
