31 Fun Halloween Would You Rather Questions (Free Printable & Google Slides Option)!
I love Halloween would you rather questions because they’re such an easy way to connect people of all ages together, have a laugh, or even give students a brain break in class. Kids get absolutely CRAZY the week before Halloween. Don’t fight it! Instead, look for opportunities to take a break and connect with your kids, both at home and school.
You can insert them into a casual family conversation, be more formal and actually print out cards (included below), or even project one on a Google slide every day in the month of October for your students.
Many teachers who are using restorative practices in their classrooms love the ease of would you rather questions. It can give your shy talkers a moment of bravery. Especially if you’re using restorative circles to maintain relationships (rather than repair them), would you rather questions can be a gentle introduction.

What is the point of would you rather games?
Would you rather games (also called this or that questions) are meant to be an icebreaker or conversation starter. The right question (or series of questions) can ease an awkward group gathering for kids, create a laugh that interrupts a boring presentation, or offer a brain break for tuckered out students.
Would you rather questions are popular because they work well for people of all ages, depending on the question asked.
How do you play Would You Rather games?
Would you rather games are super easy and customizable. You simply ask participants to choose between two comparable options. Often, both options presented are equally desirable or awful. Alternatively, a kid’s response depends entirely on their personality and preferences, which makes it a fun way to get to know each other. What makes it lively is the debate that follows, or the silly follow-up questions people ask as they try to work out which option to choose.
There are different ways to present would you rather questions:
- in casual conversation, particularly around a dinner table
- to open a discussion in a group setting
- on a stack of cards, taking turns reading them aloud – this option works well if you want students facilitating groups
- on a Google slide, which encourages kids to move to opposite sides of the room in order to choose their response
Positive affirmations are so important for kids, both at school and home. Check out this post with lots of freebies you can use to build up the kids in your home or classroom!
