Would You Rather ESL Speaking Game is a fun and interactive activity for students to choose between two options — for example, “Would you rather visit Japan or Finland?”
Tips for Teachers:
1. Explain that students will read a question beginning with “Would you rather...?” and must choose one option, giving at least one reason for their choice.
2. Model an example.
3. Encourage full sentences. Remind students to answer in complete sentences using structures like:
I prefer to...
I think I would rather...
...sounds boring to me.
...might be interesting.
I'm not sure about...
I would probably choose...
4. Pair or group students. Encourage them to ask follow-up questions such as “Why?”, “Really?”, or “What about you?” to keep the conversation going.
5. Keep it fun and flexible. Use the cards or slides in any order, set a time limit for each question, or ask students to create their own “Would you rather...?” questions at the end of the activity.
