How to play
Open class with one question as a bell-ringer and give students 60 seconds to pick a side and write down one reason.
Turn a question into a writing prompt: students explain their choice in three sentences and name one downside of their own pick.
Have students stand on the side of the room that matches their answer, then let each side choose one speaker to make its case.
During the first week of school, pair students up and have them guess each other's answers before revealing them.
Use the future plans questions in advisory or career lessons, since they lead right into talks about goals.
For a quick brain break before a test, run one question a minute for five minutes.
Playing in a group? Read a question out loud, let everyone pick a side, then tap the one the room chose and see how it compares with everyone online.
Questions people ask
What are good would you rather questions for middle schoolers?
The best ones come from real middle school life, so students have an opinion right away. Try "Would you rather have a locker right outside every class or a locker twice as big at the far end of the school?" Questions about friends, tech and the future get them talking too.
How do teachers use would you rather questions in class?
Many teachers use one as a bell-ringer, a writing prompt or a quick brain break. Students pick a side, explain their reasons and listen to the other side. It builds speaking skills without any right or wrong answer.
What are good would you rather questions for 6th graders?
Questions about the jump to middle school work well for 6th graders: lockers, switching classes and making new friends. Try "have one big test at the end of the year or a small quiz every Friday." The icebreaker section on this page is a good place to start.
