Pass the turkey, scoop another helping of mashed potatoes, and get ready to learn something new about the people sitting around your table. These "Would You Rather" questions aren't about finding the right answer (hint: there are no wrong answers!). No rules, no winners, and no perfect way to play.
Pick a question, read it aloud, and let everyone answer. The real fun begins after someone makes their choice. Ask follow-up questions. Why apple pie over pumpkin pie? What if the choice were cherry pie instead of pumpkin pie? Ask "Why?" "What if?" or "Tell me more." A simple answer often leads to the best conversations.
So go ahead, pick a few favorites, skip around, answer them all, make up your own, or let one question send you down a completely different path. You just might be surprised where the conversations lead.
