Would You Rather questions tap into curiosity and creative thinking, making them a perfect fit for language learners.

Browse the templates below and copy one into your community post. You can use them as daily prompts, icebreakers at the start of virtual sessions, or in group chats. Encourage members to answer in Spanish if possible, and always ask them to explain their choice. Rotate different themes each week to keep things fresh and relevant to your learners' interests.
Since these templates are designed for all platforms, tailor your post format to the platform's strengths. On forums, create a new thread or pin a weekly Would You Rather post. In group chats or messaging apps, share a question as a daily prompt and encourage quick replies. For social media, use graphics or polls to make participation easy and visual. Always respond to answers to keep the conversation going.
Focus on scenarios that require members to recall and use specific Spanish vocabulary sets, such as food items (¿Prefieres comer paella o tacos?), travel destinations, or daily routines. This not only encourages conversation but also helps reinforce context-appropriate vocabulary usage.
Offer two versions of each question: a simpler one using present tense and basic vocabulary for beginners (¿Prefieres leer o escribir en español?) and a more complex one incorporating subjunctive, past tenses, or idiomatic expressions for advanced learners (¿Preferirías que te inviten a una tertulia literaria o a una clase de conversación informal?).
Incorporate questions involving traditions, holidays, or regional foods (e.g., ¿Prefieres celebrar la Semana Santa en Andalucía o el Día de los Muertos en México?), which spark discussions about cultural differences, customs, and history, enhancing both language and cultural competence.
Frame questions using these structures (e.g., ¿Si pudieras viajar a cualquier país hispanohablante, cuál elegirías?), prompting members to answer using conditional verbs or subjunctive expressions, thereby reinforcing grammatical concepts in an engaging context.
Set clear guidelines encouraging responses in Spanish, provide sentence starters, and model answers in Spanish. Remind members that making mistakes is part of the learning process and reward or acknowledge posts that use targeted Spanish vocabulary or grammar.
Blend entertaining scenarios (like choosing between Spanish-speaking celebrities or fictional situations) with those targeting practical language use (workplace scenarios, travel dilemmas) to maintain engagement while ensuring each prompt has clear language learning objectives.
