You can also include:

pointing, making eye contact towards preferred choice (body language)
offering between 2 choices (for e.g milk or water)
voting (for older children. for e.g do you want to stay in or go out and play)
simply asking for their preferences (for e.g. which do you prefer)
tally (create a tall with older children for e.g where to have afternoon tea indoors or out).
