175 + Simply Fun Mother’s Day Would You Rather Questions

Mother’s Day: a day to celebrate the wonderful women in our lives who’ve mastered the art of multitasking, from juggling work and home life to dealing with our dramatic teenage years.

And what better way to honor these amazing ladies than by engaging them in a fun and thoughtful game of “Would You Rather?” 

Believe as a self-proclaimed expert in family games (a title I awarded myself after organizing three family game nights without any major disputes), this game is the perfect blend of laughter, bonding, and unexpected revelations.

Why Play “Would You Rather” on Mother’s Day?

Would You Rather isn’t just a game; it’s a journey into the mind. For moms, it’s a chance to escape the endless to-do lists and dive into a world of hypotheticals that are as absurd as they are entertaining.

Plus, it’s a great way for kids and adults (yep, even adult kids) alike to share a laugh and learn more about each other in a light-hearted setting.

Believe me, nothing says “I appreciate you” like asking your mom if she’d rather have eight arms or eight legs.

How to Play “Would You Rather” – Mother’s Day Edition

The rules of “Would You Rather” are simple: one person reads out a question with two outrageous scenarios, and everyone else has to pick their preferred option.

The catch? You have to be prepared to defend your choice, no matter how ridiculous it may seem.

3 Reasons Why You Need Questions for Kids AND Moms

Now, you might be thinking, “Why do I need separate ‘Would You Rather’ questions for kids and moms?” Well, my friend, here’s why:

1. Kids and moms have different perspectives on life. While your little ones might be more interested in silly scenarios involving unicorns and superpowers, your mom might prefer more relatable questions about household chores or embarrassing moments.  And sometimes adult kids want to join in the fun.
2. Keeping things age-appropriate is key. You don’t want to traumatize your kids with questions that are too mature, and you definitely don’t want to bore your mom with questions that are too childish.
3. Variety is the spice of life (and “Would You Rather“). By having separate question sets, you can keep the game fresh and engaging for everyone involved.

Setting Up the Game for Mother’s Day

To make sure your “Would You Rather” game is a success, follow these simple steps:

1. Print out or write down a list of “Would You Rather?” questions beforehand. You can find plenty of ideas online or create your own!
2. Toss strips of questions into a hat. You’ll want to keep the questions for grown up moms separate from the kids.
3. Gather everyone in a comfortable space where they can easily hear and see each other.  The living room or dining room table is our go-to spot for games like this.
4. Explain the rules of the game (more on that in a bit) and emphasize that there are no right or wrong answers.
5. Take turns asking questions and enjoy the laughter and conversation that follows!

Rules to Avoid the Game Being a Snoozefest

To keep the game lively and engaging, here’s a few rules to follow:

1. Encourage everyone to explain their answers. It leads to hilarious stories.
2. Keep the questions light-hearted and family-friendly. We want to celebrate mom, not make her blush.
3. Set a time limit for each question to keep the game moving along.
4. If someone’s stuck on a question, allow them to skip it and come back to it later.

5 Ways to Share the Mother’s Day Would You Rather Cards

Now that you have your questions ready, it’s time to share them with the world! Here are some ideas:

1. Print them out and place them in a decorative jar or basket. for easy access during the game.
2. Create a digital version and share them via email or social media for friends and family to use.
3. Turn them into a beautiful card or booklet to give as a Mother’s Day gift.
4. Use them as conversation starters during your Mother’s Day brunch or dinner.
5. Save them for future family gatherings and create a tradition of playing “Would You Rather” on special occasions.

One of my coworkers made a set of “Would You Rather” cards for her mom and laminated them so they could use them year after year. It was sort of a tradition that they’d use them year after year. 

By the way, it’s always good to keep family connections strong. Check out this article on family happiness by Faith Achiaa for some other neat ideas on how to make life fun as a family – and not just on Mother’s Day.
