How to do it

Grown-up prep: No prep. Start with an easy one so everyone gets the idea.

  1. Here's the game: you hear a silly choice, and you have to pick one.
  2. Would you rather have a pet dragon or a pet unicorn?
  3. Everyone answers, then gives one good reason.
  4. Would you rather only eat pancakes or only eat pizza forever?
  5. Now make it trickier by adding a twist to one side.
  6. Take a vote and count who picked each side.
    Ask: Did most people pick the same thing?
  7. Now you make up one for the grown-ups!
  8. Make up one more for someone who isn't here, and ask them later!
    Ask: Who should we ask next?

  • Winner stays: the winning choice faces a new choice, until one thing is left.
