Christmas Would You Rather? Tips and Tricks

Would you rather tips and tricks

Playing Would You Rather games on Christmas day is about more than just asking each other random questions. Adding some structure and different elements is a surefire way to keep things entertaining and to keep your participants engaged. Here are our top tips on how to manage a few rounds of Would You Rather under the mistletoe.

Print Out Cards

We recommend printing (or writing) all of your questions on individual cards, and even laminating them if you get the chance. Using a piece of paper or single screen doesn’t encourage participation as well as having individual cards that can be passed around.

Take Turns

Make sure to pass out some of the cards to each participant, and ensure that everyone gets a turn to answer questions. If people miss out on either they will be quicker to lose interest and wander off. It’s simpler than it sounds – just get everyone in a circle and let each person in the order of the circle ask a question that everyone in the group must answer.

Make The Order Random

The best way to play is by putting all of your cards into a hat (or even better, a small Christmas stocking!) and having each person choose a card when it’s their turn to read aloud. It adds a little more anticipation and fun to the game since even the reader won’t know what to expect!

Give People A Time Limit

A time limit helps move the game forward, as it stops people from um-ing and ah-ing and dragging their feet on, particularly tricky questions. It also puts pressure on, which makes the game more tense and exciting.

Let People Make Up Their Own Questions

This is especially important for kids since it allows them to flex their creativity – not to mention, no one knows what kids like as much as they do. And even for adults, impromptu questions add an extra layer to the game and encourage deeper involvement and attention.

Plus the made-up questions are almost guaranteed to get the most laughs!

Christmas is all about spending precious time with your loved ones, which makes Would You Rather games a perfect way to spend part of the day. Not only will they get everyone together, but they’ll help you and your friends and family to learn more about each other and understand each other’s perspectives a little better.

If that’s not getting into the Christmas spirit, I don’t know what is! For more festive games, Christmas-themed fun, and plenty of other ideas for the holidays, check out more of our DIY games:
