150 Best Animal Would You Rather Questions For Kids

Let me know if this scenario rings familiar to you: it has been a long day and you are standing in the grocery line waiting to check out.  

Your children are antsy, and everyone is grouchy with each other.

As much as I would love to say that I never experience grouchy moments with my son, that would not be accurate.  Life gets in the way on some days, no matter how hard I try.

However, there is always room for improvement and ways to change the mood.  

I recently saw an interaction between my mom and my son that lead to an “aha” moment for me.

He was getting grouchy, and it looked like things were not going well.  Instead of buying into the mood, my mom started asking him silly questions to redirect his energy.  

I have to say that he is pretty quick on picking up on attempts to redirect, but I believe her question was so funny and the topic was so within his interest, that he forgot about being grouchy.

They had a great conversation and subsequently, a great afternoon together.  I like to believe that we should all have these types of skills in our parent tool belt to make life easier.

I can only speak for myself when I say that unlike my mom, I am unable to pull these types of tools out of my belt off the cuff, especially when things are already stressful.  

It takes a bit of preparation.

So, in the quiet moments (the VERY few quiet moments!) I sit down and do my best to think of questions to put in my tool belt.  Today’s topic happened to be animals.

Kids love most things to do with animals.  I know my son loves anything that has to do with learning more about animals and any games that involve talking about animals.  

He could talk about animals for hours!

Below is a list of animal would you rather questions that should have you and your little ones laughing and enjoying your time together!
