- Frequently Asked Questions
Ask a class of learners "what did you do at the weekend?" and half the room will look at the floor. Ask the same room whether they would rather eat rice or bread, and hands go up before you have finished the sentence. That gap is the whole reason would you rather questions for ESL students have quietly become one of the most reliable low-prep speaking activities in language teaching: the question does the hard work of starting the conversation, so the learner only has to supply the English.
The activity needs nothing. No handout, no cutting up cards, no login, no interactive whiteboard that decided to update itself five minutes before the lesson. You read two options aloud, learners choose one, and then they explain why. That last step is where the language happens, and it is why this beats most warm-ups: a choice creates a reason, and a reason creates a sentence.
What follows is a graded set of 105 questions organized by CEFR level, from A1 questions built entirely out of high-frequency words to B2+ prompts that will keep an adult class arguing for ten minutes. Before the lists, you'll find the grammar the activity actually teaches, the sentence frames to write on the board, and five ways to run it depending on how much time and space you have.
Why It Works for Language Learners
It forces output, not just recognition. Most classroom time is comprehensible input — listening, reading, checking answers. Learners need input, but they also need the uncomfortable moment of producing language under mild pressure, because that is when they notice the gap between what they want to say and what they can say. A would you rather question creates that moment in about four seconds, and creates it repeatedly.
It gives learners a reason to speak. This is the difference between a real speaking activity and a drill. "Tell me about your family" is an instruction; "which one would you choose, and why?" is a genuine question with an answer the teacher does not already know. Information-gap logic applies even to opinions: because nobody in the room knows what you will pick, everyone actually listens.
The anxiety cost is close to zero. Affective filter is not just theory — you can watch it operate. There is no wrong answer, so a learner cannot lose face by choosing. Even at A1, a learner who says only "bread" has produced a complete, successful, socially appropriate contribution. Once they have contributed once, contributing again is far easier, and that is usually the bottleneck with quiet classes.
It repeats a target structure without feeling like repetition. Every answer naturally uses the same frame — "I would rather ___ because ___" — so across ten questions a learner produces the structure ten times with ten different lexical fillers. That is a substitution drill in disguise, except learners are choosing the content themselves, which is precisely the condition under which structures stick.
It scales to any level with the same instructions. The teaching move never changes; only the questions and the expected output do. A1 learners answer with a noun. A2 learners produce a full sentence with because. B1 learners compare two options and justify. B2 learners concede a point before disagreeing. You can run the identical activity in a beginner class at nine and an advanced class at eleven and use the same board layout for both.
It is genuinely mixed-ability friendly. In a class where levels vary — which is most classes — a stronger learner and a weaker learner can answer the same question at different depths without anyone being publicly outpaced. You simply ask the stronger learner a follow-up question, and the difficulty scales privately.
The Language It Teaches
The activity is not just fun filler. It has a real grammar target, and naming that target out loud is what turns a game into a lesson stage you can justify in a plan or an observation.
The would rather structure itself. This is a genuinely awkward form for learners: it takes a bare infinitive (I would rather go, never I would rather to go), it contracts to 'd rather in speech, and the negative is I'd rather not. Learners meet it in coursebooks, produce it twice, and forget it. Forty repetitions in a fifteen-minute activity fixes that more effectively than any exercise.
Comparatives and preference verbs. Answers pull in better, more, less, easier, cheaper, more interesting, plus the whole preference family: prefer, like … more than, enjoy. At A2 this is exactly the language learners need and rarely get to use spontaneously.
Because-clauses and basic subordination. Most low-level learners speak in strings of simple sentences. Requiring a reason forces one subordinate clause every single turn, which is the first real step towards complex sentences. Push slightly further and you get so, but, although, and even though without ever presenting them formally.
Opinion and hedging phrases. At B1 and above, the interesting language is the softening: I think, for me, it depends, probably, I'd say, I see your point, but. These are the phrases that make a learner sound fluent rather than merely correct, and they only appear when there is something to have an opinion about.
Sentence frames to put on the board
A1: "I like ___." / "___, please." / "I want ___."
A2: "I would rather ___ because ___." / "I prefer ___ because it is ___."
B1: "I'd rather ___ than ___ because ___." / "For me, ___ is better because ___."
B2+: "It depends on ___, but on balance I'd rather ___." / "I can see why you'd choose ___, however ___."
Leave the frame visible for the whole activity. Learners who would otherwise stay silent will speak if the shape of the sentence is already on the wall — the frame removes the risk of getting the grammar wrong, which is the thing they are actually afraid of.
How to Run It (5 Formats)
1. Pair work with a partner swap — 8 to 12 minutes. Give each pair three questions. Two minutes to discuss all three, then everyone changes partner and repeats the same three questions with a new person. The repetition is the point: the second telling is always faster, more fluent and better structured than the first, and learners can feel the improvement. Finish with two minutes of whole-class feedback where you board three good sentences and two errors.
2. Four corners / vote with your feet — 5 to 8 minutes. Option A on the left wall, option B on the right. Read a question, learners walk. Once they have moved, ask two learners on each side to justify their position. This gets bodies moving after a long grammar stage, and it is brilliant for teenagers who will not raise a hand but will happily walk. It also gives you an instant visual read of the whole class.
3. Chain speaking — 6 to 10 minutes. Learner A answers, then asks the next learner the following question on the list. Around a circle of twelve, everyone speaks twice: once answering, once asking. The asking turn is the hidden value here, because forming the question is harder than answering it and learners almost never get to practice it.
4. Write, then speak — 12 to 15 minutes. Learners write their answers to five questions in full sentences first, you circulate and correct quietly on their page, and only then do they speak in pairs. This is the format for anxious classes, for exam preparation groups, and for any class where accuracy matters as much as fluency. Rehearsed speech buys enormous confidence, and the written record gives you something to assess.
5. Teacher versus class — 4 to 6 minutes. You take a side and defend it, and the class has to argue you out of it. Because you are modeling the target language at natural speed, learners get high-quality input and a reason to interrupt. It is the fastest of the five formats and the best emergency warm-up when a lesson finishes early.
Whichever format you choose, hold error correction until the end. Correcting mid-sentence at the fluency stage teaches learners that speaking is dangerous — exactly the belief this activity exists to dismantle.
105 Graded Would You Rather Questions for ESL Students
Two short nouns, no clauses, nothing longer than eight words. Food is the safest A1 topic because the vocabulary is concrete, already known, and easy to mime if a learner does not recognize a word. Accept one-word answers here.
- Would you rather eat rice or bread?
- Would you rather drink water or juice?
- Would you rather eat an apple or a banana?
- Would you rather have soup or salad?
- Would you rather eat chicken or fish?
- Would you rather drink tea or coffee?
- Would you rather eat pizza or pasta?
- Would you rather have ice cream or cake?
- Would you rather eat eggs or cheese?
- Would you rather have a big breakfast or a big dinner?
- Would you rather eat hot food or cold food?
- Would you rather have chocolate or cookies?
- Would you rather eat at home or in a restaurant?
- Would you rather cook food or buy food?
- Would you rather eat with a fork or with chopsticks?
Animals and the home are the other two topics every A1 syllabus covers early, so the nouns are already in the room. Use these for a show of hands first, then push the strongest few learners to add "because it is small" or "because I like it".
- Would you rather have a cat or a dog?
- Would you rather see a lion or an elephant?
- Would you rather have a bird or a fish?
- Would you rather live in a house or in an apartment?
- Would you rather have a big garden or a big kitchen?
- Would you rather ride a horse or hold a rabbit?
- Would you rather see a monkey or a bear?
- Would you rather have a small pet or a big pet?
- Would you rather sleep in a bed or on a sofa?
- Would you rather live near the sea or near a park?
- Would you rather have a red door or a blue door?
- Would you rather clean your room or wash the dishes?
- Would you rather have a TV in your room or a computer?
- Would you rather touch a snake or a spider?
- Would you rather visit a farm or a zoo?
Now the options are short verb phrases rather than single nouns, which means the answer needs a full sentence. This is the level where you insist on "because" every time. Great fit for the write-then-speak format.
- Would you rather get up early or stay up late?
- Would you rather walk to school or take the bus?
- Would you rather do the shopping or do the cooking?
- Would you rather have a long lunch break or finish work early?
- Would you rather study in the morning or in the evening?
- Would you rather wear jeans or a uniform?
- Would you rather live in a city or in a small town?
- Would you rather take the train or drive a car?
- Would you rather tidy the house or work in the garden?
- Would you rather text a friend or call a friend?
- Would you rather have one long holiday or many short ones?
- Would you rather do homework alone or with a friend?
- Would you rather have a quiet weekend or a busy weekend?
- Would you rather wake up to an alarm or to the sun?
- Would you rather spend money on clothes or on food?
Hobbies and free time bring in the -ing forms and the "go / play / do" collocations that A2 learners constantly mix up. Board the three verbs before you start and this list becomes a collocation lesson.
- Would you rather watch a film or read a book?
- Would you rather play football or go swimming?
- Would you rather listen to music or watch TV?
- Would you rather go to the beach or to the mountains?
- Would you rather play a video game or a board game?
- Would you rather dance or sing?
- Would you rather take photos or draw pictures?
- Would you rather go shopping or go to the cinema?
- Would you rather ride a bike or go running?
- Would you rather learn the guitar or the piano?
- Would you rather meet friends at home or in a café?
- Would you rather watch sport or play sport?
- Would you rather go camping or stay in a hotel?
- Would you rather spend Sunday outside or inside?
- Would you rather learn to cook or learn to drive?

- Would you rather travel alone or travel with a group?
- Would you rather have a job you love with low pay or a boring job with high pay?
- Would you rather work from home or work in an office?
- Would you rather visit ten countries quickly or one country slowly?

Slightly more abstract, and designed to pull in opinion phrases and hedging language. Give thirty seconds of silent thinking time before anyone speaks — B1 learners produce noticeably better sentences when they have planned them.
- Would you rather be rich or be healthy?
- Would you rather have more free time or more money?
- Would you rather be famous for a year or comfortable for life?

- Would you rather live where you grew up or somewhere completely new?
- Would you rather have a job that helps people or a job that pays very well?
Each of these can carry five to ten minutes of genuine discussion with an adult class. Ask for a concession before the disagreement — "I can see why, however…" — and you are training exactly the turn-taking that speaking exams reward.

For Young Learners vs Adults
Young learners (roughly 5 to 12). Keep both options visible and concrete — a picture, a flashcard, or the two objects held up in your hands — and accept a pointed finger or a single word as a complete answer. Movement helps enormously at this age, so use the four-corners format rather than pair work. Silly options work better than sensible ones: children will argue passionately about a pet dragon and shrug at a job with good holidays. Repeat the same five questions across several lessons; young learners like the security of a familiar routine, and the repetition is doing quiet grammar work. Ten questions is usually one too many, so stop while they still want more.
Teenagers. The main risk is that the questions feel childish, so lean on the B1 choices list and anything with a real trade-off. Voting with their feet works far better than raising a hand, because teenagers will move when they will not volunteer. Adding a scoring element — best argument wins the round — turns a warm-up into something they take seriously.
Adults. Adults want to know why they are doing an activity, so tell them: this is the would rather structure plus opinion language, and you will board their errors at the end. Skip the silly questions with professional or exam classes and start at A2 daily life or B1 travel and work, which connect directly to the English they actually need. Business groups respond well to the work questions and to the B2+ discussion starters, especially the ones about remote work and AI. One-to-one, a single question is often the fastest possible warm-up: you take the opposite side and the lesson has started inside sixty seconds.
If you also teach a general subject class rather than a language class, the same activity works as a settling routine — that version is covered in our classroom questions collection, which is aimed at native-speaker groups rather than language learners.
Themed Would You Rather Sets for ESL (Food, Travel, Tech, Movies, School)
The graded lists above are organized by level. These five sets are organized by topic, so you can match the warm-up to the unit you are teaching. Each set is tagged with the level it suits best, and every set has ten questions, enough for a full pair-work stage.
Builds on the A1 food list with verbs instead of single nouns: cook, try, bake, eat out. Ask for a full sentence with because.
- Would you rather cook dinner every day or wash the dishes every day?
- Would you rather eat breakfast food for dinner or dinner food for breakfast?

- Would you rather learn to bake bread or learn to make sushi?
- Would you rather drink only milk or only orange juice for a month?
- Would you rather eat lunch outside or at your desk?
- Would you rather have a picnic in the park or a barbecue in the backyard?
Good for practicing comparatives: hotter, quieter, more interesting, more expensive. Stronger learners can add a past-tense story: "Once I visited…"
- Would you rather visit a hot country or a cold country?

- Would you rather take a lot of photos or just enjoy the moment?
- Would you rather pack a big suitcase or travel with only a small backpack?
- Would you rather get lost in a new city or get lost in a forest?
Learners always have opinions about phones and apps. These pull in useful, convenient, waste of time and the language of advantages and disadvantages.

- Would you rather take photos with a camera or with your phone?
- Would you rather have a self-driving car or a flying bike?
A natural fit for genre vocabulary: comedy, action, horror, documentary, cartoon. Ask learners to name one example for their choice.
- Would you rather watch a comedy or an action movie?
- Would you rather watch movies at home or at the movie theater?
- Would you rather be an actor or a director?
- Would you rather watch a cartoon or a documentary?

- Would you rather learn a new language or a new musical instrument?
- Would you rather study with music or in silence?
- Would you rather have school start later or finish earlier?
Would You Rather Questions for Kids vs Adults vs Business English
The same activity needs different content for different classes. Here are three short, ready-to-use sets of ten: one for young learners, one for general English adults, and one for business English groups.
Very short, very concrete, and easy to act out. Accept pointing, a single word, or a mime.

- Would you rather hop like a frog or waddle like a duck?
- Would you rather draw a sun or a moon?
- Would you rather sing a song or clap your hands?

- Would you rather get feedback in writing or face to face?
- Would you rather have a long commute and a high salary or a short commute and a lower salary?
- Would you rather go on a business trip every month or never travel for work?
- Would you rather manage people or manage projects?
- Would you rather have flexible hours or a fixed schedule?
- Would you rather network at a conference or meet clients one-on-one?
Follow-Up Questions for Each Level
The first answer is only the start. A good follow-up question doubles the speaking time and pushes learners just beyond what they planned to say. Write two or three of these on the board next to the sentence frames, and train learners to ask them to each other, not just to answer them.
A1: "Why?" / "Do you like ___?" / "What color is it?"
A2: "Why do you like it?" / "How often do you ___?" / "When did you last ___?"
B1: "What is the biggest problem with the other option?" / "Would your answer change if ___?" / "Have you ever been in a situation like this?"
B2+: "What would most people in your country choose, and why?" / "Can you imagine a situation where you would choose the other option?" / "What does your answer say about your priorities?"
Example in action (B1). "Would you rather work from home or work in an office?" A learner answers: "I'd rather work from home because I don't like traffic." Follow-up: "Would your answer change if your office was five minutes away?" Now the learner has to use a conditional, consider a new situation, and defend or change their opinion, all from one extra question.
For mixed-ability classes, give the weaker learner the A2 follow-up and the stronger learner the B1 or B2+ one. Both are answering the same question, but the challenge scales quietly.
Printable Would You Rather ESL Worksheet
Every list on this page works on paper as well as on screen. The quickest way to make a worksheet is to choose one level or theme set, copy the ten questions into a document, and add three columns next to each question: My choice, Because…, and My partner's choice. Learners fill in their own answers first (the write-then-speak format), then interview a partner and complete the last column.
Worksheet layout that works: the sentence frame for the level at the top of the page; ten questions in the middle; a follow-up question box at the bottom ("Choose one question. Ask your partner two follow-up questions and write their answers."). One page per learner is enough for a full fifteen-minute speaking stage, and the completed sheets double as a quick writing sample you can check after class.
If you prefer cut-up cards for pair and group work, our printable Would You Rather cards are ready to print, and the easy Would You Rather questions list has more simple prompts for lower levels.

What level are these questions for?
The page is graded from A1 to B2+ so you can pick a set that matches your class. The beginner sections use only high-frequency vocabulary and short options, so a true A1 learner can answer with a single word and still be understood. The A2 sections add everyday topics and slightly longer options. The B1 sections introduce real trade-offs that need a reason, and the B2+ discussion starters are abstract enough to sustain several minutes of debate. Most teachers use two levels at once: the lower set for the warm-up and the higher set for the main speaking task.
How long should the activity take?
Five to ten minutes is the sweet spot for a warm-up: three questions in pairs, then two or three learners reporting back to the class. If you are using it as the main speaking stage of a lesson, plan fifteen to twenty minutes — five minutes of pair work, a change of partner, another five minutes, then feedback and error correction on the board. Anything longer than twenty-five minutes and the format starts to feel repetitive unless you change the interaction pattern.
Can I use them for writing as well as speaking?
Yes, and it is one of the easiest ways to get reluctant writers producing full sentences. At A1 and A2, ask for one sentence using the frame on the board. At B1, ask for a short paragraph: choice, two reasons, and one sentence about the option they rejected. At B2 and above, the same question becomes a genuine opinion essay with a counterargument. Because learners already have an opinion, they never face a blank page — the only thing they have to work on is the language.
Do they work in online lessons?
They work especially well online, where silence is the usual problem. Paste one question in the chat, give ten seconds of thinking time, then nominate learners by name rather than waiting for volunteers. In group classes, use breakout rooms of two or three with three questions each, or use the reaction buttons and polls as a fast whole-class vote before you ask for reasons. One-to-one, a would you rather question is often the quickest way to get an adult learner talking in the first two minutes of a lesson.
How do I get quiet students talking?
Lower the cost of the first contribution. Let quiet learners vote with a hand or by moving before they ever have to speak, so they have already participated successfully. Give thinking time and let them write their sentence before saying it — rehearsed speech is far less frightening than spontaneous speech. Put the sentence frame on the board so there is no risk of getting the grammar wrong. Use pairs rather than open class, because speaking to one person is a fraction of the pressure of speaking to twenty. And resist correcting the first few sentences: fluency first, accuracy in the feedback stage. You can also play the free game to preview more questions before class.
Can I print these questions?
Yes. Copy any level or theme set into a document and add columns for "My choice," "Because," and "My partner's choice"; see the printable worksheet section for a layout that works. For cut-up cards, use our printable Would You Rather cards.
What grammar does would you rather teach?
The main target is would rather + bare infinitive ("I would rather stay home"), its contraction I'd rather, the negative I'd rather not, and the comparison form I'd rather ___ than ___. Answers also practice comparatives (better, cheaper, more interesting), because-clauses, and opinion phrases like I think and it depends. Follow-up questions add conditionals at B1 and above.
Are there online would you rather games for ESL classes?
Yes. You can play Would You Rather free online on this site and share your screen, which shows how other players voted and gives learners something to react to. For tips on running it over video calls, see our guide to playing Would You Rather online.
How many would you rather questions should I use per lesson?
For a warm-up, three to five questions is plenty: enough for pair work and quick feedback in five to ten minutes. For a main speaking stage, use eight to twelve questions with a partner swap halfway through. Quality beats quantity; one question with two good follow-ups produces more language than five questions answered in a single word.
