Who’s the Most Like…?

Choose a person in the audience who becomes the standard by which everyone else scores himself.  Choose a person who will be honest and whose opinion will matter to others.  The youth pastor’s wife, pastor, teen president, etc., all make good choices.  Tell the audience that we are going to find out who is the most like the person we have chosen.  (For clarity, we will call this person Herbert.)  As I ask a question, Herbert must have the answer in his head before I ask the crowd.  Many times it is fun to let everyone know that low score wins instead of high score.  Ten questions is all you really need to have fun with this, so a list of thirty questions means you can actually use the same format three times.

• Would you rather drink Coke or Pepsi?
• Would you rather have the power to fly or the power to be invisible?
• Would you rather be embarrassed in front of a group of strangers or a group of friends?
• Would you rather eat at McDonalds or Denny’s?
• Would you rather have blisters on your lips or paper cuts on your fingers?
• Would you rather be four-foot short or seven-foot tall?
• Would you rather own a cabin in the woods or a cabin on the beach?
• Would you rather have your parents or Adam and Eve as parents?
• Would you rather die unexpectedly or slowly surrounded by family?
• Would you rather be blind or deaf?
• Would you rather be filthy rich or wildly famous?
• Would you rather watch TV or read a book?
• Would you rather eat Mexican or Chinese food?
• Would you rather be bald or have one solid eyebrow?
• Would you rather be freezing cold or burning hot?
• Would you rather have a maid or chauffeur?
• Would you rather be yelled at by a friend or stranger?
• Would you rather ask your mom or dad for ten dollars?
• Would you rather be fifteen for the rest of your life or never be a teenager?
• Would you rather drive a VW bug or a Harley Davidson across the United States?
• Would you rather have ten okay friends or one best friend?
• Would you rather live in the United States or outside the United States ?
• Would you rather have nine brothers and sisters or zero brothers and sisters?
• Would you rather lose all your teeth or all your hair?

After five questions, there will be very few people that have perfect scores—either zero or five.  You can use a few more questions to narrow it down to just one winner.
