Tail-Guessing Quiz

Let’s look at the tails and guess who’s hiding! Here are some ideas for a tail-guessing quiz.
By looking at animals’ tails and thinking about which animal is hiding, children can develop their powers of observation and reasoning.
For younger kids, it’s especially appealing because it draws their interest through familiar animals and deepens their thinking through the quiz.
Plus, they can have fun while improving concentration and memory.
Joining the quiz with friends is also recommended, as it helps nurture communication skills!
I wonder which one has more.

Let’s count in different situations! Here are some ideas for “Which one has more?” They’re fun ways to learn numbers.
By comparing quantities, children can develop a sense of number magnitude.
In this quiz, they’ll enjoy counting while figuring out which has more.
Kids who are just stepping into the world of numbers might excitedly start counting, thinking, “Hmm, which one has more?” As their counting skills grow, they might even confidently declare at snack time, “We get two today!”
Odd one out quiz

Let’s think by looking at types, colors, sports, and the number of letters! Here are some ideas for odd-one-out quizzes.
They’re perfect for younger children to develop classification and observation skills.
It’s a quiz where you look at things like color, type, sports, or the number of letters, decide which one is different, and give your answer.
Through play, children can enjoyably build visual recognition and logical thinking skills.
By setting a time limit for answering, you can boost concentration and let them learn while enjoying a sense of speed.
Using hints as they go will also make it easier to take on the challenge!

Nursery Rhyme Intro Quiz

Many preschools sing songs during morning meetings or at the end of the day.
Here’s a fun activity I recommend: a nursery rhyme intro quiz.
Use familiar nursery rhymes and enjoy guessing them from the intro! You can play the intro from a CD, play a little on the piano, or even hum a tune—it all sounds like fun.
Children often know the songs but forget or don’t remember the titles, so through the intro quiz, I hope they’ll learn the songs and their titles together.
It would also be fun to do team competitions or have the kids compete against a teachers’ team!
true-or-false quiz

If you think it applies to you, raise your hand! Here are some ideas for a True-or-False (Maru-Batsu) quiz.
It’s a simple and fun quiz game that’s perfect for younger preschoolers.
By choosing “Maru” (true) or “Batsu” (false) for easy questions, children can develop their thinking and decision-making skills.
Younger preschoolers are absorbing new knowledge every day.
With clear questions and an intuitive way to answer, it’s great if they can learn while having fun! Incorporating actions like raising hands or standing up lets them move their bodies as they play, which is highly recommended.
Participating together also helps nurture communication skills with friends!
I wonder what animal’s voice it is?

Animals appear frequently in picture books, nursery rhymes, and cartoons, so they feel familiar to children.
So how about trying an animal sound quiz during the thank-you party’s quiz time? Gather sounds that everyone knows—like dogs, cats, pigs, and cows—along with those of animals whose calls are surprisingly unfamiliar, and turn them into a quiz.
It will be a fun time that leads to new discoveries and knowledge for the kids.
For tougher questions, adding video hints or making the answers multiple-choice will make it easier for children to respond.
Animal Silhouette Quiz

Heart-pounding excitement—what animal could this silhouette be? It’s an Animal Silhouette Quiz where kids look at the silhouettes of animals and guess what they are.
As the name suggests, children see animals rendered as black silhouettes and try to identify them.
Choosing animals with distinctive body parts, like elephants or giraffes, will likely increase the correct answer rate.
On the other hand, you can also create trickier questions—like a horse silhouette leading to “zebra,” or a bird silhouette leading to “duck” or “mallard.” Adjust the difficulty to match the children’s ages and interests, and have them take on the challenge!
