I'm a youth pastor in Cincinnati and I bought the prequel to this book and my students loved it! When I told them I bought this book they literally cheered.Great thought provoking questions and conversation starters. Lots of funny off the wall questions also.Highly recommend!
If you are working with high school aged youth either in a church or non-profit setting, this is a wonderful resource for discussion starters. Many times, I will start a meeting off by having the young people select a number and them read the "Would you rather" statement that corresponds. After the individual has answered, I have others chime in with their thoughts. Sometimes this can become the entire focus of the meeting. Both versions of the book are a MUST HAVE for those working with teens.
I am a Sunday School Helper for junior high kids. They love when I bring this book to class and they ask for it every week... "Did you bring Would you Rather?" It is great tool to get them talking. We ask a question, and go around the table listening to the reasons why they pick one choice or the other. The quesitons are funny and thought provoking. Great book for teen groups.
I found some of the questions inappropriate for a church youth group, so if you're not using it in that setting, maybe it's okay. But some of the questions were even about spouses, so not sure why that would "get teens talking".I asked one of the questions from the book, "Would you rather......catch your dad reading playboy or coloring in a Barney coloring book?"Of course the kids thought it was hilarious.
