50 Halloween Would You Rather Questions for Kids
Use these spooky questions anytime during the month of October—at home, in the classroom, or even on social media as reels or stories to engage your community! All of the questions included are family-friendly and designed to be appropriate for ages 5-12.
Some are a little “spookier” than others, so use your best judgement with the littlest ghosts and ghouls. To help, I’ve divided them into two sections, one for kids under 8 and the other for older kiddos.
