100 would you rather questions for kids to make everyone laugh

These 100 would you rather questions for kids turn ordinary moments into funny conversations. Pick between two silly choices, explain your answer, and see whether your friends or family agree.

This game works well for children ages 4 to 10, including kindergarteners who aren't reading yet. You can play around the dinner table, during morning meetings, on long car rides or while waiting for an appointment. No supplies needed. Just ask a question, give everyone a chance to answer, and prepare for some surprising explanations.

How to play would you rather with kids

The rules are easy. One person reads a question with two choices. Everyone picks one answer, then tells the group why they chose it. There are no wrong answers, and you don't need to agree with anyone else.

We always add one rule: everyone gives a reason. Even a short answer like "Because flying would be faster!" counts. Younger children can point to their choice first, then explain it in their own words.

For kindergarteners, start with five questions and give them time to think. Older kids can handle 15 or 20 in one sitting. Want to make things interesting? Ask everyone to guess which choice will be more popular before the answers come out.

20 silly would you rather questions for kids

These funny would you rather questions for kids are wonderfully ridiculous. There is no sensible way to choose between spaghetti hair and a marshmallow pillow, which is exactly the point.

20 animal would you rather questions

Animal questions usually bring out some strong opinions. One child wants a pet dragon, while another would happily spend the afternoon talking to dolphins.

How to print would you rather question cards

You don't need a special card template. Copy your favorite 20 questions into a document, put one question inside each box, and print on regular letter-size paper. Four cards per page makes them large enough for an adult to read aloud without squinting.

Cut along the box edges and sort the cards into five piles: silly, animals, food, school and family. You can mark the backs with different crayon colors. Keep the set in an envelope, a small jar or a zippered pouch for car trips.

For children who enjoy making their own games, leave several cards blank. Let them write or dictate fresh choices. Our Primary handwriting paper printable can help beginning writers space their letters. Younger children can draw their two choices instead.

Want a full afternoon of activities? Play 10 cards, then let the kids draw their funniest answer using Coloring pages for kids as a warm-up. A purple elephant in roller skates deserves a picture.

For reusable cards, print on cardstock or cover the cards with clear contact paper. A dry-erase marker also lets you reuse blank cards for new questions. Keep the finished set where your child can grab it before your next family game night.
