Silly questions, real answers, no wrong ones

Would you rather night: a parent and child doing it together

Take turns reading would-you-rather questions. Everyone answers and explains why. No wrong answers, lots of laughing.

You’ll need

How to do it together

  1. 1

    Write a few questions together first: Would you rather have a pet dragon or a pet unicorn?

  2. 2

    Take turns reading one out loud.

  3. 3

    Everyone answers and gives one reason.

  4. 4

    Ask a follow-up: what would you do first if that happened?

  5. 5

    Finish with a question your kids make up for the grown-ups.

Make it easier

For 4-year-olds, use simple choices with pictures: ice cream or cake, swim like a fish or fly like a bird.

Make it harder

Tweens love tough ones: Would you rather know the future or change the past? Let them argue it out.

Why it’s worth it

The answers tell you how your kids think, what they love and what they're worried about, all without asking directly.
