Would you rather wheel
Twenty-four either-or questions with no wrong answer, written for kids but fun at any age. The good part is never the answer, it is the reason behind it.

How to play
- Spin and read the question aloud.
- Everyone picks a side at the same moment: point left for the first option, right for the second. Counting “three, two, one” stops people copying.
- One person from each side gets 20 seconds to explain their choice. Anyone can switch sides after hearing both.
- Spin again. Ten questions take about 15 minutes with a family of four.
Ways to play it
- Four corners (classroom): label two sides of the room. Students walk to their answer, so the whole class moves and nobody has to speak first.
- Predict the family: before answering, each person guesses what one other player will choose. A correct guess scores a point.
- Car trips: a passenger spins on a phone and reads the question out. The driver just listens and answers last.
- Writing warm-up: students pick a side and write three sentences defending it. Grades 2–5 enjoy this one.
Make up your own
Strong questions offer two choices that are both good or both silly, so the decision is hard. “Pizza or broccoli” is too easy for most kids. “Pizza every day or ice cream every day” starts an argument.
Type your own into the list, one per line, and keep them under about 30 characters so they fit on a slice. Ask the kids to write five each before you start; they get invested in their own questions.
Questions and answers
What age is this wheel for?
The questions work from about age 5, when kids can hold two options in mind. Teens and adults still enjoy them, especially with the explaining rule, because the reasons get creative.
Is it good for ESL classes?
Very. Each question practices “I would rather… because…”, comparisons and giving reasons. Spin one per lesson as a warm-up, or see the ESL conversation wheel for open-ended topics.
How do I stop the same question coming up twice?
Turn on Remove the winner after each spin in Options. Each question leaves the wheel once it is asked, and Reset puts the full list back for the next game.
