Would you Rather - Bible Version!
This is a fun icebreaker that can be used for a retreat or a youth group gathering. You can use any questions from funny to more serious. It's a chance to recall or teach about what is found in Scripture, as well as get the group energized - especially when you ask someone to explain their choice!
How to Play
-You can play this game a couple ways. You can have all of the questions on a sheet of paper that is given to each participant, and ask them to put their name at the top to circle their choices. The leader then collects the papers and reads a few out loud. This is where you can ask a participant to explain their choice.
-You can also have this as a stand up/sit down (if you would rather option A, stand up, option B, sit down) or move to a designated side of the room based on your choice - this always leads to some giggles
-Examples of questions:
