❓💭 Would You Rather...Questions

Earlier this fall I started posting Would You Rather...questions weekly at the circulation desk. A fellow librarian had shared that it was a great way to start conversations with students as they came into the library, so I started my own weekly voting, hoping that students who might not otherwise come into the library regularly might do so to check out that week's question and maybe spend some time in the library. This was the first question:

The participation and response have been fantastic--even staff members make a point to come in each week to vote and chat about why they voted in that way. :) Often students come into the library in small groups, and while maybe only one in the group checks out a book, they *all* vote. So many fun conversations, big smiles, and lively debates about the "right" choice! This has definitely been a passive programming win!

Because of the positive reactions, I've added a free resource in my TPT store with some of questions that were popular with students. The download includes six pre-made choices, as well as a blank template that you can customize and continue to use to keep the conversations flowing. 

While I've been using these at the library circulation desk, the questions could work for you in a variety of ways--as an attendance or bellringer question, as a writing prompt, or as a team building classroom activity. I even used questions like these in my elementary library centers when I was an elementary librarian. Why not visit my store to see if they might also work for you?
