Would You Rather Questions for Middle School and High School: how it works
These would you rather questions for middle school and high school deal one of 150 clean cards at a time, such as Star on a losing team or sit the bench on a winning team. Tap a side to see how the room split.
Vote first, argue second
Read the card aloud, then pass the phone so each player taps a side before anyone explains, so nobody copies the loudest voice. Then ask one player from each side why. Next question deals again, Skip puts a card back, and No repeats tonight deals all 150 once. Easy holds 59 quick picks. Hard holds the 40 with a real cost, such as Love a job that pays little or be bored by a job that pays a lot.
Five topics and two school chips
Each topic holds 30 cards: School life, Sports, Hobbies, Future jobs and Friend dilemmas. Middle school deals 116 cards and leaves out 34, such as JV and varsity, free periods, college and first jobs. As would you rather questions for high school students, press High school: 120 cards, leaving out 30 such as the lockers, the sleepover and the class snake. For would you rather questions friends can argue over, press Friend dilemmas: Have a friend who is always late or a friend who often cancels.
Tips
In a classroom, skip the phone vote: students walk to a side of the room, and each side gets 30 seconds to make its case.
A near tie, such as Be the best player on JV or the last player on varsity, is the card worth five minutes.
On the bus to an away game, press Sports and No repeats tonight: all 30 cards come up once before any returns.

How this list was compiled: Written for this site by the editors; nothing was copied from another list, and no card or option repeats one on the site's other would you rather or this or that pages (a script compared every card and option with the 17 other datasets on disk on 2026-09-19). The deck is for ages 11 to 17 and holds five topics of 30 cards: school life, sports, hobbies, future jobs and friend dilemmas. No card is about dating, crushes, bodies or weight. Every card was read against the site's family-safe rule (nothing sexual, no alcohol or drugs, no self-harm, no dares, no brand names, no real people, no put-downs) and the list was run through a word blocklist on 2026-09-19. The words phone and text are on that list for the younger decks; they were allowed here and the one use (camp a weekend with no phone) was read by an editor. Middle school and High school are editor's tags on top of a card's topic: 86 cards carry both, 30 carry Middle school only (lockers, a sleepover, the class snake, PE) and 34 carry High school only (JV and varsity, a free period, finals, college, a first job, career choices). The grade spans the two tags follow (middle school as grades 6 to 8, high school as grades 9 to 12, sixth grade at ages 11 to 12) were checked on 2026-09-19 at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_school and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_education_in_the_United_States. Easy, Medium and Hard are an editor's judgment: Easy is a quick taste pick, Medium is a trade, and Hard is the 40 cards where a player gives something up or picks between two things that both matter, such as a job you love that pays little. The list prints each question as one sentence with a shared opening or ending said once; the two buttons on the card carry each option in full. Licence: own work
