We’ve all been trying to find ways to keep ourselves entertained over the past few months. With venues closed and social activities discouraged, we’ve been left with few options aside from sitting around and talking to one another. And as it turns out, that can get old pretty fast.
In these instances, we find it’s best to spruce up the conversation with a couple of questions. As luck would have it, there’s a trend going around encouraging us to do just that.
That’s right. The “would you rather” sweep continues, with kids across the nation looking for answers to what, exactly, their parents would rather do. Join us in exploring the phenomenon even further. Below, you’ll find over 100 would you rather questions for kids. See how long it takes you to get through them all!
