"Would you rather...?" questions for kids are a fun and easy way to get kids talking and thinking. We looked high and low to come up with these 101 good, funny and kid-friendly questions just for you. They are perfect for 6-12 year olds.
By asking kids a this or that style question it makes it easy to start up a conversation. For example, when you ask then "Would you rather be 5 years older or 5 years younger?" kids might say "Older". But then you can easily follow-up with "Why?" or "What would make you change your mind?" - this is what really gets a meaningful conversation going!
