Looking for a high-energy, classroom-safe brain break your students will actually want to participate in? This 100 Edition of Would You Rather is packed with fun, fast-paced, and slightly ridiculous questions—all centered around the number 100!
From choosing between 100 gummy bears or potato chips to deciding whether you’d rather travel 100 years into the future or the past, these prompts get students thinking, laughing, moving, and—best of all—explaining their reasoning. No prep. Just press play and let the conversations begin.
Students choose a side, move with the on-screen prompts, and then explain their thinking—making this video perfect for:
✔️ Brain breaks
✔️ Bell ringers
✔️ Classroom community building
✔️ Speaking & listening practice
✔️ Argumentative writing warm-ups
Even silly scenarios help students practice real ELA skills like:
Making a clear claim
Supporting ideas with reasons
Listening to different perspectives
Engaging in low-stakes debate
This is a perfect way to bring energy into your classroom while still keeping learning at the center.
