Questions people ask

What are this or that questions?

They are quick-fire questions that offer two options, like 'coffee or tea?'. You pick one without overthinking. They are popular as icebreakers, classroom warm-ups and social media polls.

How is this different from Would You Rather?

This or that is fast and about preferences. Would you rather is slower and usually poses a dilemma, often a silly or hard one, that needs a reason.

Are these good for the classroom?

Yes. The 'For kids' category is clean and easy. A popular format is to label two sides of the room and have students walk to their answer.
