Let’s align our feelings and find the answer together! Here’s an idea for a three-letter quiz.
Quizzes are often individual competitions, but the appeal of this idea is collaborating with friends to answer.
For example, a question like “What comes to mind when you think of something sweet?” might be asked.
What answer would you think of? Each person writes one letter on a piece of paper, and when your answers match, it feels like your bond grows stronger.
Give it a try at your next event! It’s also great to share hints with each other.
The answer formed by stacking three pictures!

♪ Pajama Parties Song – Pajama Parties
Stimulate your imagination! This is a quiz where you stack three pictures.
You draw illustrations on transparent sheets like vinyl, and when you layer them, a single answer appears.
For example, the first sheet has the outline, the second has the eyes and mouth, and the third has the ears—stack them, and an animal emerges.
You can also create quizzes with vehicles, buildings, and many other themes.
If you can’t find the ideal transparent sheets, using clear ziplock bags is a good substitute.
The opening can act as a handle, making them easy to use.
Trick Quiz
https://www.tiktok.com/@odango.support/video/7339056189742812434Here are some playful trick quiz ideas that are irresistibly misleading but super exciting! They’re funny because you answer with confidence, only to find out the reality is different.
Let’s try a quiz game like that.
For example, show an illustration that looks like rabbit ears and ask, “What do you think this is?” Once most kids answer “a rabbit,” flip open the part of the illustration that was hidden.
Out comes a picture of a flower.
You can almost hear the kids say, “What?!” and “Why?!” Embrace those reactions and keep the quiz going.
Their responses are absolutely adorable!
