What's the difference between This or That and Would You Rather?

This or That uses short options and quick answers, usually plain preferences. Would You Rather builds a full scenario and invites a debate. Many groups warm up with This or That and switch later.

Two is enough. With a bigger group, have everyone answer at once by pointing left or right.

Can I use this in a classroom or meeting?

What are some good This or That questions?

Five from this list: Visit the past or Visit the future? Snow day or Field trip? Sleepover at yours or Sleepover at theirs? Big spoon or Little spoon? Present to the company or Write the report?

This or That is a quick-fire game in which players choose between two short options, such as "sunrise or sunset", without explaining. It is used as a party warm-up and as a classroom or meeting icebreaker, because a round takes about a minute and nobody can get it wrong.
