❤ Would You Rather Halloween Edition
et your students moving and laughing in October with this hilarious, spooky Halloween edition of WOULD YOU RATHER? with 21 funny and thought-provoking questions.
HOW IT WORKS:
Students are given 2 unsavory but funny choices and must decide which they would prefer. Your students are guaranteed to have a great time, as well as to connect with their peers. Students move to the A or B side of the room to indicate their choice. My favorite thing about this game is that students are constantly shifting sides and they get to see that they have commonalities with nearly every person in their class. It is a wonderful tool for creating friendships!
4 WAYS TO PLAY:
- Get students moving and laughing! Have them move to the A or B side to indicate which "they would rather." (My favorite!)
- Google Slides With A Collaborative Student Voting Template
- Jamboard
- Cut-Out A/B Answers For
DIGITAL USERS EASY SET UP: 2 STEPS!
- Add each student's name to a sticky note on the voting template
- Copy the template and paste it after each question. (Jamboard users drag the template to the next question during the game).
- Print users cut out and distribute and A/B card for each student. Project the questions onto the board or print slides and hold them up for students to see.
