As an ice-breaker, a game of “would you rather” is a way to get teens laughing and interacting with one another. It is a focused game in that each person is required to answer questions and be able to explain their answer.
Teens are notoriously awkward when it comes to social interaction which is why if you are hosting a teen gathering, you have to have planned activities to get them socializing.
Don’t play “would you rather” if you haven’t planned it beforehand. Have some questions written down to use in the beginning. Once the teens have loosened up a bit, you can get them to come up with some of their own “would you rather” quest.
Here are some “would you rather” samples for you to consider
