You will need:

To think about some statements to put to the group beforehand.

How it works:

This is an instantly addictive ice breaker that you can run from the front as a 'walking vote' or in smaller groups. (All ages cannot help but get drawn into this by the way.)

If you are going for the 'walking vote' option then you start with the whole group in the middle of the room and indicate two different sides of the room that they walk to, representing the two different options you give to your 'would you rather.....' statement.

The idea is that you present your group with a statement that starts 'would you rather....' and then you pose two equally difficult choices to them. Everyone HAS to choose one, and the funnier the better.

Here are some Youth Alpha favourites that we've spent a few philosophical hours chewing over!

'Would you rather......':

...have to eat only haribo for the rest of your life or eat only ice cream?

....have hands made of biscuits, or feet made of bread?

.....have to sleep upside down every night, or spend the day moving around only on all fours?

.....only be able to drink milk for the rest of your life or lemonade?

.....be able to make phone calls as your single method of communicating with others (so you can't even speak face to face with anyone) or be able to send just texts?

.....perpetually smell of cheese and onion crisps for the rest of your life, or tinned tuna?

.....develop gills and live in water for the rest of your life, or develop wings and have to be constantly flying for the rest of your life, never stopping?

....be a spider or a fly?

So, you get the general idea? Enjoy making everyone think and be amazed at how tricky those decisions are!
