Some of you may know the book from the 1970’s called ‘Would You Rather?’ by John Burningham (there are more recent versions of the same idea out now as well). The game is easy – answer the question and then pose your own for the next poster.
Example:
Would you rather eat milk chocolate or white chocolate?
Milk chocolate.
