How to Play Would You Rather

Food questions are the easiest would you rather to start, because everyone has already eaten today and has an opinion about it.

  1. One person reads the question out loud, both options.
  2. Everyone picks one. No "both" and no "neither."
  3. Each player says why. "It's crunchy" counts as a reason.
  4. Pass the reading job around the table after each question.

Three ways to change it up

  • Dinner table round. Each person asks one question between bites. Whoever gives the most surprising answer picks what's for dessert.
  • Guess the cook. Before answering, everyone guesses what the family cook will pick. A right guess earns first choice of leftovers.
  • Menu makers. At a party or in class, each team uses its answers to plan a whole day of meals, then reads the menu aloud for a vote.

Frequently asked questions

What are good food would you rather questions?

Good ones pit two foods people really eat against each other, or ask how you eat them. "Get the corner piece of the brownies or the middle piece?" splits almost any table, and nobody needs to think twice to answer.

What are some gross food would you rather questions?

Try "eat pickle ice cream or ketchup cake?" or "put jelly on your scrambled eggs or peanut butter on your bacon?" They're gross at a kid level: weird mixes, nothing mean or truly disgusting.

Are these food questions OK for kids?

Yes. They're clean, in simple words, and every section works from about age 6. There are no brand names, so kids answer about the food itself.

How do you play would you rather at dinner?

Read one question between bites and go around the table for answers and reasons. Five or six questions fill a family dinner, and the breakfast section works just as well at breakfast.
