Would You Rather Question Prompts

Description

“Would You Rather?” is a fun getting to know you warm-up activity that gets students talking! This version was created with English learners in mind to build knowledge and use of everyday vocabulary. A sentence frame is provided for beginning Els. Both PDF and Google Slides formats are included!

40 fun question prompts

Project a slide. Then have the teacher or a student ask, “Would you rather _____ or _____?” Hand gestures for numbers 1 or 2 are provided for students to first “show” their choice, which also makes a great scaffold for including newcomers. Finally, students share their reasons orally or in writing using the sentence frame for support.

This versatile resource makes a fun warm-up activity and can be used to build oral language skills, as well as writing skills, in a small group setting, whole group setting, or with a partner.

A blank page is also included in the PDF version for students to create their own “Would You Rather” question.

The Google Slides version contains a section for students to give a written response.
