Animal Would You Rather Questions: Wild Choices for Kids

Animal would you rather questions

Would you rather sleep like a koala or like a dolphin? Many of the questions on this page are built on real animal abilities, so every round doubles as a mini nature lesson. Koalas really can sleep up to around 20 hours a day, dolphins rest one half of the brain at a time, sea otters hold paws while they float, and emperor penguin dads keep the egg warm on their feet. Others are just for fun, like choosing between an otter day and a hummingbird day. They suit kids, classrooms and any adult who has ever watched a nature documentary.

Ideas for teachers and parents

In science class, use a question to introduce adaptations: why does a bloodhound have such a strong nose, and how does a homing pigeon find its way?
Before a zoo or aquarium visit, play five questions in the car and have kids look for those animals once you arrive.
For writing practice, kids pick an option and write a short "day in the life" story from that animal's point of view.

Animal facts in the questions are kept simple and general. For a school project, check details in a library book or a museum or zoo website.

Questions

Yes. They are written for all ages, with nothing scary, and many teach a real fact about how animals live.
