This or that wheel

Thirty-two quick two-way questions that anyone from age six to sixty can answer in a second. Spin, everyone picks a side, and the good part is the reasons.

    How to play this or that

    1. Spin and read the question out loud.
    2. Everyone answers at the same moment, by pointing left for the first option and right for the second. No changing your mind after.
    3. Go round and give one sentence on why. Keep it to ten seconds each in a big group.
    4. Spin again. Five to ten questions makes a good warm-up; a whole car trip can use all 32.

    In a classroom or a meeting

    • Move to a side: label two walls “this” and “that”. Students walk to their side, which gets a class moving after a long sit.
    • Tally it: keep a running count on the board and turn it into a bar chart for younger students.
    • Remote teams: use thumbs up for the first option and thumbs down for the second on camera, and press F for full screen when sharing your screen.
    • Opinion writing: a spin makes a fast prompt. Students write three sentences defending their side.

    For real two-way choices

    When you are deciding between two actual things, clear the box and type just those two. If it is a straight yes or no, the yes or no wheel is ready to go. If the questions here are too easy for your group, the would you rather wheel has harder dilemmas.

    Questions and answers

    What ages is this or that good for?

    Every question here works from about age six, and adults enjoy it as much in a meeting. For a teen or adult group, add your own trickier pairs, like “Ten small trips or one big trip?”.

    How do I stop the same question coming up again?

    Turn on Remove the winner after each spin in Options, or click Remove on the winner card. Reset brings all 32 back.

    Can I write my own this or that questions?

    Yes. Type them in the box, one per line, as “X or Y?”. Short pairs fit on the slices best. Save the list in My wheels for next time.
