You Gotta Be Kidding!: The Crazy Book of "Would You Rather...?" Questions
Gross, embarrassing, and just plain silly questions about boogers, bugs, smelly socks, itchy scabs, and more!
Adapted from the hugely popular board game, this interactive and completely engaging book serves up hundreds of bizarre, embarrassing, sometimes ethical and sometimes stomach-churning dilemmas that kids will love to pose to their friends and siblings, whether in the backseat, on a sleepover, at a party, on a rainy day, or during a lull in the lunchroom (if you dare).
Ponder the Would you rather eat 10 pounds of cheese -OR- a bucket of peanut butter—with nothing to drink? The exponentially Would you rather drink liquid found leaking from a garbage can -OR- chew on a hairy clump found between the cushions of an old couch? The Would you rather be able to talk with all animals -OR- be able to understand all languages? The As a soccer player, would you rather mess up and score a goal for the other team but still have your team win -OR- play your best game ever even though your team loses? And the Would you rather swim across a river that is filled with crocodiles -OR- spend the night on an island where man-eating tigers live? Fascinating sidebars throughout are filled with interesting ancillary information—the nature of drool, left-handedness vs. right-handedness, what’s dangerously filthy and what’s just gross, why we blush when we’re embarrassed—so kids can learn something as they laugh!

I was excited to find this book on Hoopla so that I could use it with my students this year as conversation starters. I was able to get about 40 usable questions, but too many of them deal with poop and farts and boogers and so on. Everything was presented as OK for children, and nothing was wildly inappropriate, but that's not the sort of thing I myself am going to present in my class as a teacher. Nevertheless, good conversation starters for the most part.

There are some really funny and creative "Would you rather's" in here. Me and my family had a good time talking about them!

Would you rather...
have a job cleaning out silverware in your mouth? OR cleaning golf balls in your mouth?
always have a little green piece of spinach stuck between your front teeth? OR always have a little booger that moves when you breathe?
be able to talk with all animals? OR speak all foreign languages?
eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich from a tub of peanut butter that a big, sweaty grown-up just walked barefoot through? OR eat a bowl of ice cream that a woman with bad dandruff just shook her head over?

This is a great book of "would you rather" situations. This particular book is totally appropriate to use with kids of all ages. It does have some pretty gross "would you rathers" but is sure to entertain. It also has random facts about the topics in the questions which are also pretty interesting (especially if you like useless trivia like I do).

Read this around the table after dinner. The boys thought it was awesome and gross. It does get you talking about what choice seems the least gross. Some questions were good. Lots of them were just plain gross. Great for elementary school boys

My son (7 years old) has a lot of fun with this book. A lot of the questions in it are pretty funny or just plain weird. If you have a little boy/girl who thinks gross and odd things are hilarious, I'd buy this.

It is weird and mostly gross but it does have some entertaining questions that do make you think sometimes, and I like how it has facts below about the questions.

I use this as a time filler. Lots of fun, silly, gross, and odd questions for upper elementary and up! Every class I have used this with LOVED it!
