Spaghetti Hair or Robot Talk? 20 Silly Family Questions

The ultimate boredom-buster for car rides, long lines, and rainy afternoons

By Kate Weiser May 7, 2026

We’ve all been there - the drive-thru line that’s taking just a little bit too long or the family dinner where everyone can’t stop bickering. When you’re at your wit’s end, sometimes the best course of action for everyone is to just get silly.

"Would You Rather" questions are the easiest way to get everyone distracted, chatting, and giggling. It’s also so fun to get a peek into how the kids' minds work as they're deciding - plus, it's a great way to model those critical thinking skills while you're all laughing.

Here are 20 of our favorites for when you just need everyone to stop bickering and start laughing.


1. Would you rather have a nose that honks like a horn every time you sneeze or ears that flap like wings when you laugh?

2. Would you rather have spaghetti for hair or maple syrup for sweat?

3. Would you rather only be able to walk like a penguin or only be able to talk like a robot?

4. Would you rather have a monkey tail or an elephant trunk?

5. Would you rather have to sing everything you say or have to dance every time you hear music?

6. Would you rather be shrunk to the size of an ant or grow to the size of a skyscraper?

7. Would you rather have a pet dragon the size of a cat or a pet cat the size of a horse?

8. Would you rather be able to talk to dogs or be able to talk to every bug in the world?

9. Would you rather live in a treehouse in the jungle or an underwater bubble in the ocean?

10. Would you rather turn into a frog every time it rains or turn into a giant marshmallow every time the sun comes out?

11. Would you rather have a pet dinosaur that lives in your backyard or a unicorn that lives in your garage?

12. Would you rather live in a house made of gingerbread or a house made of cheese?

13. Would you rather have a bed made of marshmallows or a floor made of trampolines?

14. Would you rather always smell like popcorn or always smell like a fresh Christmas tree?

15. Would you rather have to brush your teeth with hot sauce or drink a giant glass of pickle juice?

16. Would you rather only eat pizza for a year or only eat tacos for a year?

17. Would you rather wear your shoes on your hands for a day or your socks on your ears for a day?

18. Would you rather give up all screen time for a month or give up all dessert for a month?

19. Would you rather have purple skin or blue hair?

20. Would you rather it be Halloween every single day or Christmas every single day?
