How to play Christmas would you rather

Out loud: one person reads a question, everyone picks a side, and each person has to defend their choice. Rotate who reads. The arguments are the best part.

On phones: one person starts a room with these questions loaded, and everyone joins with the link or the room code. Each round, everyone votes on their own phone, then the split comes up for the whole group. You score a point when you side with the majority, so you are also guessing what everyone else will pick. It works in one room or over a video call, which makes it easy to play with family who live far away.

Christmas this or that

The quick-fire version: read both out and everyone answers on the spot. Good for a classroom, a car journey or the minute before dinner.
