How to play This or That

  1. Read a pair out loud, or show the card on the screen.
  2. Everyone answers instantly. No 'both', no 'it depends'.
  3. In a classroom or office, point to one side of the room for each option and have people walk to their answer.
  4. Ask one person on each side why they picked it, then draw the next pair.
  5. On social media, post the pair as a poll or a story template and let followers vote.

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.
