🤔 Would You Rather

- 🌙 Works in the dark
To play Would You Rather in the car, someone reads a question with two choices, like "Would you rather have a pet dragon or a pet unicorn?" Every player picks one and says why. There are no right answers and no points; the fun is in the reasons. Tap the card on this page for a new question, and Peabody reads it aloud so the youngest can play too.
- Someone reads a would-you-rather question.
- Everyone picks one of the two answers.
- Then each player says why. There's no wrong answer.
🎮 Getting the game ready…
How to play Would You Rather, the long way
Take turns being the reader. The reader taps for a question, reads it out, and everyone answers in turn round the car. The two boxes on the screen help a small child who can't hold both choices in their head: point to one.
The best part is the "why". Ask it every time. "I'd rather have a dragon because it could fly us home" is the start of a whole conversation.
Make your own once the deck runs low. A good one has two choices that are both fun, or both a bit silly. Leave out anything that would scare a little one, and anything about real people in the car.
By age
🧸 3–5: Threes and fours pick a box and that's plenty. Ask "which one?" rather than "would you rather?"
🎒 6–9: Six to nine love the silly ones: spaghetti hair, a nose that honks. Ask for one reason each.
🎧 10+: Big kids can argue a side they didn't pick, or write a new question for the car.
When it goes wrong
- "Neither!": the rule is you have to pick one, even if you don't love either.
- Someone laughs at an answer: every answer is allowed. The next question goes to the child who was laughed at.
- The questions get mean or scary: skip that card and go back to the deck.
Questions families ask
Are these questions safe for little kids?
Yes. Every question here was written for Peabody and checked: nothing scary, nothing gross, nothing about real people.
How long does it last?
As long as you like. Five questions fills a few minutes; the whole deck can fill half an hour.
