How to Play Sports Would You Rather

The easiest way to play is to read one question aloud and have everyone choose an answer. You can keep the game moving quickly or ask players to explain why they chose their answer.

There are plenty of ways to make it more interactive:

• Have kids hold up one or two fingers to show their choice.
• Designate one side of the room for each answer and have players move to their choice.
• Ask players to explain their answers.
• Take a class or team vote and count the results.
• Let kids create their own Sports Would You Rather Questions.
• Use one question at a time as a quick brain break or conversation starter.

Use Sports Would You Rather Questions for Movement

Would You Rather questions can easily become a movement activity.

Read a question and assign a movement to each answer. For example, players might jump five times for the first choice or do five marching steps for the second choice.

You could also place two signs on opposite sides of the room and have kids walk, skip, hop, or march toward their answer.

This works well for classroom brain breaks, physical education warm-ups, indoor recess, or sports-themed activity stations.

Encourage Kids to Explain Their Choices

One of the best parts of Would You Rather questions is hearing why someone made a particular choice.

After everyone answers, choose a few players to explain their reasoning. There is no correct answer, so kids can practice sharing an opinion and listening to different points of view.

You can make the activity more challenging by asking questions such as:

What made you choose that answer?

Would your choice change if you were playing in a championship game?

Which choice would be easier?

Which choice would be more exciting?

Would you choose differently for a different sport?

Create Your Own Sports Would You Rather Questions

After trying the questions above, challenge kids to write their own.

Choose a sport and think of two choices that are both appealing, difficult, funny, or unusual. The best questions are often the ones that make it hard to choose.

Kids can write their questions on index cards, slips of paper, or a classroom whiteboard. Put all the questions in a container and draw them one at a time.

This can turn a quick conversation activity into a longer writing and group game.
