[Quiz] Recommended for preschoolers! A collection of fun quiz ideas
Here are some ideas for a variety of quizzes you can enjoy with preschoolers.
Since preschoolers are at a stage where they’ll accumulate many experiences and absorb a lot, quizzes are a great way to spark their interest and curiosity.
Quizzes that use visual information, or ones where children listen to everyday sounds, familiar noises, or voices and guess the answer, are easy to understand and highly recommended!
When you want to explain an event or communicate something important—and it feels a bit difficult for preschoolers—turning it into a quiz can greatly boost their concentration.

What is this picture book?
How many questions can you get right? Here’s an idea for a “What’s this picture book?” game.
In daycare, children encounter all kinds of picture books every day—teachers’ recommendations, personal favorites, friends’ favorites, and even books popular with the infant class.
This time, let’s hold a quiz tournament using the picture books at the daycare.
A nice bonus is that teachers can customize how they present the questions! It can also be a chance to nurture memory by seeing how well children remember the characters and stories.
Give it a try on this occasion.
Instrument Quiz
A lively instrument quiz where you listen and answer.
In this activity, you listen to the timbre and guess what instrument it is.
First, let them hear the instrument on its own, then have them sing along to match the timbre—this way, they’ll enjoy it whether they get it right or not.
Beyond being a fun quiz, the real charm is that it might spark interest in music and instruments.
It’s a bit off the quiz track, but introducing each instrument one by one could be fun too.
What am I saying?
A simple, instant-fun quiz where you guess what someone is saying.
As the name suggests, an adult mouths some words, and the children try to guess them.
If you decide on themes in advance—like animals or vehicles—it’ll be easier for the kids to figure out the answers.
You can also adjust the difficulty by changing the length of the words or phrases.
Give it a try when you suddenly feel like running a quick quiz.
And instead of just asking the questions, try doing it to a song or music to make it even more exciting.
In conclusion
We introduced a variety of quizzes that younger children can enjoy.
There were plenty—from quizzes you can enjoy just by looking to fun ones that get kids thinking and remembering.
Feel free to use them when introducing picture books or seasonal events, or to fill small gaps of time during activities and events!
