The "This or That" activity is an engaging and thought-provoking exercise where students are presented with two options and must choose one based on their personal preferences, experiences, and reasoning. These choices are highly relatable and designed to spark reflection, discussion, and critical thinking. This resource features 30 highly relatable "This or That" options!
Each This or That scenario challenges students to consider different perspectives, weigh pros and cons, and explain their reasoning in a fun and interactive way. The activity is versatile, making it perfect for bell ringers, warm-ups, classroom and/or SEL discussions, journal writing, debate starters, or even a fun brain break!
Students can participate in multiple ways:
⭐ Verbally (Pair/share, small group discussions, or whole-class conversations)
⭐ In Writing (Reflection worksheets with short or extended responses)
⭐ Digitally (Google Slides versions for online learning or interactive activities)
This resource comes in five flexible variations to suit your teaching needs:
✅ PowerPoint Presentation (No Questions) – A simple and visual This or That slideshow with engaging images, perfect for quick bell ringers or class discussions. (Digital version included!)
✅ PowerPoint Presentation (With Questions) – Includes two thought-provoking reflection questions for each This or That choice to deepen student engagement. (Digital version included!)
✅ Worksheet Version (One-Question Format) – Gives students space to write their choice and briefly explain their reasoning, great for independent work. (Digital version included!)
✅ Worksheet Version (Three-Question Format) – Includes three deeper reflection questions per scenario for students who want to explore their thinking more fully. (Digital version included!)
✅ Task Cards (Black & White for Small Groups or One-on-One) – Ideal for quick discussions, small group activities, stations, or partner work.
❤️ Social Emotional Learning❤️
This "This or That" activity supports Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) by encouraging students to practice self-awareness, decision-making, and perspective-taking. By reflecting on their choices, students develop a deeper understanding of their personal values, preferences, and emotions, while also considering different viewpoints. Engaging in discussions helps build communication skills, empathy, and social awareness, as students listen to and respect diverse opinions. Whether used for self-reflection or group dialogue, this activity fosters critical thinking, self-expression, and meaningful connections, making it a valuable tool for SEL development in the classroom.
