Here's how to play a fun Would You Rather Web Game. I've included everything you need, including a would you rather list of ideas!
Today's game is a creative twist on "Would You Rather" that shows how we're all connected. I saw a game like this online (I wish I had a link to share with you, but I've lost it) and thought it would be a fun one to re-create.
Here's how you play and what you need to create this game at home:
Would You Rather Web Game
Everyone sits in a circle except for one person (the leader). The leader passes the cup of sticks around and manages the yarn.
Each person in the circle takes a turn choosing a stick and choosing which of the items on the stick they would rather choose (for example: Apples or Oranges).
Everyone in the circle who would have made the same choice raises their hand. The leader then loops the yarn around the wrists of each person who would have made the same choice as the person who drew the stick.
The game continues this way until you've created a web that shows how connected you all are, despite your differences!
Materials
Popsicle Sticks
Marker
Yarn
Cup
Preparation:
Write lots of "either or" game questions on the sticks. For example: Oranges on one side, Apples on the other.

The girls really got into it and it was fun to see the resulting web we created! I found all of the supplies at the dollar store or the craft section at Walmart. I can totally see us playing this game at future birthday parties, too!

DeleteI'm going to show my daughter-in-law this idea. My son and daughter-in-law started a youth group at church this year and it's going so well. Do you have any other ideas you could share I could show them? Glad I found your site.
ReplyDeleteHi Deena, thank you! Yes, I'll be sharing our activities as we go, there's another one coming up soon! :)

ReplyDeleteThese games look like they'd be fun and better yet it gets the kids away from all of the technology for A while
ReplyDeleteI love games like this where the materials to make it cost next to nothing compared to high priced boardgames. Sometimes the simplest games can create the most fun!
