Start the year by building connections and easing students into discussion with this simple, engaging back to school activity built around classic would you rather questions. Designed for the first days of school, this low-pressure icebreaker has students work in pairs to talk through fun, thought-provoking choices while explaining their reasoning to a partner. The structure encourages conversation, active listening, and comfort speaking with classmates without putting students on the spot. As students share and compare answers to the would you rather questions, they naturally learn more about one another, helping to establish a positive classroom community right from the beginning.

Included In This Would You Rather Back To School Activity:

➡️ Would You Rather… Assignment: Use this back to school activity during the first days of school to help students get to know one another through guided partner discussion. Students are paired up and respond to 15 engaging would you rather questions by choosing the option they personally prefer and explaining their reasoning out loud. Partners can circle or record each other’s responses directly on the sheet, keeping the activity interactive and collaborative. The questions are designed to be interesting and discussion-friendly, such as choosing between good grades or athletic ability, living in the past or the future, or only being able to whisper or shout. These prompts naturally lead to conversation, laughter, and follow-up questions, making the activity an easy way to get students talking and comfortable with one another.
