This or That Questions: Fun Picks for Any Group
Published
This or that questions give two choices and ask you to pick one, such as beach or mountains, or cats or dogs. They take seconds to answer, so they suit warm-ups, car rides and getting a new group talking.
Easy Picks for Anyone
Beach or mountains? Cats or dogs? Summer or winter? Sweet or salty? Morning or night? Pizza or tacos? City or country? Books or movies? Tea or cocoa? Stairs or elevator?
For Kids and Class
Dragons or unicorns? Drawing or building? Recess or art class? Pancakes or waffles? Superhero or wizard? Have students walk to one side of the room for each answer, then ask two or three of them why they chose it.
For Friends
Road trip or flight? Early to the party or fashionably late? Spoilers or surprises? Plan it all or see what happens? Sing out loud or hum quietly? The funniest answers tend to come with a long explanation.
For Work
Calls or emails? Window or aisle? Desk lunch or a walk? Sticky notes or an app? Early start or late finish? On a video call, people can answer in the chat at the same time, which takes under a minute.
For the Holidays
Cookies or candy canes? Sledding or ice skating? Wrap gifts or trim the tree? Hot cocoa or warm cider? Spin the Christmas would you rather wheel for more, and use them at a class party or between courses.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you play this or that?
Read out two choices, and everyone picks one by moving, raising a hand or typing. Then ask a few people why.
What’s the difference between this or that and would you rather?
This or that is a quick pick between two things. Would you rather asks about two things you might do, so it takes longer to argue.
