Looking for a fun, low-prep brain break that your middle school students will actually react to? This Gross Edition of Would You Rather is packed with silly, cringe-worthy choices that get students laughing, debating, and fully engaged. Created by a former middle school teacher, for middle school teachers.
Perfect for:
✔️ Bell ringers
✔️ Brain breaks
✔️ Indoor recess
✔️ End-of-class fun
✔️ Community building
Students will vote, argue their case, and (politely!) disagree as they face hilarious gross-out dilemmas involving slime, strange foods, creepy clean-ups, and science-class classics. All questions are school-appropriate and designed specifically with middle schoolers in mind.
Play as a whole-class activity, quick energizer, discussion starter or as a way to get students thinking about an argumentative/persuasive writing piece. No prep. Just hit play and let the debate begin!
