This or That Questions for Kids

Play This or That

Question 1 of 10

This or that?

Tap a side, or press 1 or 2

These 60 this or that questions for kids are quick, picture-friendly choices with simple words: puppies or kittens, swings or slides, crayons or markers, T. rex or triceratops. Nothing scary, nothing mean. They're good for ages 5 to 12, and even kids who are just learning to read can play along with a grown-up.

Tap a choice, and once a question has 10 answers you'll see how players split, with the number of votes. Use them for morning meetings, car rides, or a game where everyone stands on the side of the room they pick.

This or That: questions and answers

How do you play This or That?

Someone reads two options and everyone picks one, fast, without overthinking. Start with "Puppies or kittens?" Here you tap a side (or press 1 or 2), and once a question has 10 answers the split shows right after your pick.

Are these questions OK for school?

Yes. All 60 questions in This or That Questions for Kids are written to be school-safe: nothing scary, gross beyond silly, or mean, and no dating, politics or religion. They suit classrooms, youth groups, family game night and team calls.

What do the percentages mean?

Each split is the share of players on BracketRanker who picked each side, with n, the number of answers. A question shows a split once it has 10 answers, marked "early" until it has 30; before that you see how many answers it has so far. Big Screen and classroom votes are counted separately, so one room can't swamp the numbers.

Can I play these on a big screen or in class?

Yes. "Play on the big screen" shows one question at a time in a projector-sized layout. The room votes by show of hands, or with 1 or 2 in a stream chat, and the host taps the winning side.

How many questions are on this page?

60 on this page, all listed above. Play 10 or 20 in a random order, or go through every one.
