Would You Rather

Here is a warm-up/icebreaker I want to try later this week.

Get all the participants up on their feet.
Indicate that there are two sides to the room; one for each answer.
Ask them a question like: would you rather live in the country of the city?
Indicate which side they go to for city, and which side they go to for country?
When they get to their side, have each person find a partner and tell them why they chose that answer.

Now my topic for this week is Sustainable Living so I would work out a few questions lie:

Would You Rather

be a vegetarian or a meat/everything eater?
ride a bike or take the bus?
work on a farm or in a factory?

Each question would allow the participants to move to the right answer.
A great twist would be to ask them why they think the others went to the different answer.

Use this for any topic.

Communication:
Would you rather
Be yelled at or talked about behind your back?
Tell a white lie or hurt someone's feelings?

Teamwork
Would you rather
Work with people like you or different?
Be a star or be on a team?

Change
Would you rather
Make changes slowly and gradually or very fast and get it done?
Change someone else or change yourself?
