“Would You Rather?” is a cool game that helps kids learn to make choices. Here’s how it works:
- Kids get two funny options to choose from
- They pick one and say why they like it
Playing this game teaches kids to:
- Think about different options
- Explain their ideas
- Understand how choices work
It’s a fun way to get better at making decisions while having a good time! Next time you’re out and about as a family or eating dinner together, try playing “Would You Rather?” with your kids. It’s a great activity that sneaks in some learning too! Remember, there aren’t any right or wrong answers. It’s about how they explain their decisions.
