A would you rather question offers two possibilities: spaghetti for hair or jelly for shoes, a pet dragon or a pet dinosaur. Pick either, suggest something else or pass. There is no answer to get right and no explanation is required.
This page has 175 written prompts in ten groups, followed by ways to use them together. The free Would You Rather browser game has its own ten ready-made pairs. It does not contain all 175 written questions. Animals and Cars offer separate picture-choice decks.
Try a choice together
Read or show both options, then let the player choose how to respond. They could tap, point, speak, gesture or use their usual communication method. Give them time and accept a pass or a different idea. Choosing one of the two displayed options is what advances the browser game; the written prompts can be used more freely.
Try “Would you rather fly like a bird or swim like a fish?” One partner might choose flying and another swimming. Ask a follow-up such as “Where would you go?” only if both want to keep talking. A short choice is already a complete turn.
For a shared group, invite a turn rather than setting a limit on passing. Partners can agree, disagree or change their minds. These prompts are optional play, not a language assessment or a reason to delay communication support.
Play the ten-pair browser version
Open Would You Rather, then choose either on-screen card. Touch and mouse selection work, and Left/Right arrow keys choose the corresponding card. The game uses emoji-labelled possibilities such as flying or swimming, riding a unicorn or a dragon, and living on the Moon or under the sea.
Use the on-screen next-step controls after a choice. Some settings offer an optional reason, another round or a finish; you do not need to supply a spoken explanation. Sound settings may speak labels, so preview them before shared play. The prepared labels use synthetic speech.
For concrete pictures, open Animals or Cars. Those decks compare pictured options rather than asking all the hypothetical questions below. A finished run can award a favourite-choice sticker on the same browser. A sticker records game progress, not language ability; browser storage can be cleared.

Use the questions away from the screen
For a family game, take turns selecting a prompt from a familiar category. In a classroom, one person can read or show a pair while others choose how to respond. There is no required number of questions or fixed session length. Stop or change activity when people want to.
The two choices need not be forced. “Neither,” “both” or a new suggestion can lead somewhere useful in the written version. If pictures would help, use a picture deck or show objects that are familiar to the player. Text, emoji and photographs have different demands; choose the representation that suits the activity.
Keep a favourite for next time
Use the favourite star on a browser game, or bookmark this guide at the prompt group you want to revisit. Local favourites stay on that browser without an account. Visit the family and classroom guide for other shared activities, or the cause-and-effect guide for action-and-response games.
The written prompts are separate from the ten-pair Would You Rather game. All three featured browser decks are free to open without signup. Preview their controls and sound settings with the actual device and access setup before relying on them in a session.
