Ideal Size
Any size works.
Use For
Introductions in the classroom or at a meeting.
Time Needed
30-60 minutes, depending on the size of the group.
Materials Needed
None.
Instructions
Give the group a minute to think of a Would You Rather… question. Give some examples. Introduce yourself and ask the first person your question. They give their name and ask the next person their question. And so on.
Depending on the purpose of your class or meeting, ask participants to come up with a meaningful or thought-provoking question. If you use this game as an energizer, encourage people to just be silly.
Debriefing
No debriefing is necessary unless you’ve asked the group to come up with questions related to your topic. If so, some of the choices probably inspired some remarkable responses. Choose a few to discuss further or to use as a lead-in to your first lecture or activity.
