A warm-up or icebreaker to foster engagement and connection among participants. It encourages conversation, sparks debate around personal preferences, and promotes interaction. Because it relies on hypothetical or binary choices, it can be reused with the same group without becoming repetitive. This activity can also be used to solicit learner feedback throughout the course, or as a prompt for students (have them create their own binaries).

If the randomly selected questions are unsuitable, it is easy to reselect prompts. If the teacher wants to modify the list of prompts, instructions are provided on the ‘Instructions’ sheet of the excel spreadsheet. Another possible adaptation is for teachers to invite students to create their own ‘would you rather’ binaries.
