Thanksgiving Would You Rather Questions

Play Would You Rather

Question 1 of 10

Would you rather…

Tap a side, or press 1 or 2

These 30 Thanksgiving would you rather questions are about the food and the fun: turkey or only side dishes, the parade or the big game, the kids' table or the grown-ups' table, and who gets stuck washing the dishes. They're light and family-friendly, so they work around the dinner table, in a classroom the week before the break, or on a long drive.

Tap your pick, and once a question has 10 answers you'll see how players split, with the number of votes. Go around the table and have everyone guess the result before you reveal it.

Would You Rather: questions and answers

How do you play Would You Rather?

Read a question out loud and everyone picks one of the two options: no "both" and no "neither". Then each person says why. Try "Would you rather eat only turkey or eat only side dishes?" Here you can tap a side (or press 1 or 2), and once a question has 10 answers you see how other players split.

Are these questions OK for school?

Yes. All 30 questions in Thanksgiving Would You Rather Questions 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?

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