[Kindergarten] Let’s Play with Quizzes! A Collection of Recommended Quizzes for Older Kindergarteners
Here are some fun quizzes I recommend for the oldest kids in kindergarten.
The senior kindergarteners have likely experienced a lot at school and learned many things.
So I’ve gathered quizzes that focus on thinking deeply, memorization, and listening carefully to stories before reasoning.
If the children aren’t coming up with answers, try adding the idea of letting them look up the answers themselves.
It’s valuable for them to think about how to research, collaborate with friends while discussing, and learn that when they don’t understand, they can look it up.
Let’s deepen their learning through a variety of experiences with quizzes.

Moral Quiz
Let’s think about problems that even adults struggle with together with children! Here are some ideas for moral quizzes.
These are quiz ideas that nurture critical thinking! There are no right answers in this quiz, so try incorporating it into activities with the goal of thinking together with the kids.
There isn’t just one way to think, so children can share their own ideas and have opportunities to listen to others’ opinions.
Through this quiz, they can learn about kindness, empathy, and the importance of following rules—what a wonderful idea for fostering a healthy heart and mind.
Picture Book Quiz

Kids who watched closely got every question right! Here are some picture-book quiz ideas.
These quizzes let kindergarteners enjoy the world of the story while answering from memory.
After reading, ask questions like “What animals appeared?” or “Where did the main character go?” to nurture children’s memory and observation skills.
If they look carefully at the illustrations and remember the story well, the answers will come quickly.
Turning the picture book’s content into a quiz helps build focus and recall skills!
Flag Quiz
Do you know which country each flag belongs to? Here’s an idea for a flag quiz.
It’s a fun way for older kindergarteners to learn the flags of countries around the world! Show various national flags and have the children choose the correct country from three options—this format makes it easier for them to answer.
For example, show a flag with a red circle and ask, “Which is this—Japan, China, or the United States?” By learning flags, children can develop an interest in the world and strengthen their visual memory.

Opposite Words Quiz
If you know, tell me! Here’s an idea for an opposite-words quiz.
It’s a quiz where you answer using words you already know.
For example, the opposite of “big” is “small.” Think of words that have opposite meanings and answer.
When you learn the opposites of words you use in everyday life, your vocabulary grows.
Once you get used to it, try tackling the opposites of slightly more difficult words—it can make it even more fun! It’s a fun quiz that can also boost communication skills when you think about it together with family or friends.
What color will it be?
Let’s answer what color you’ll get when you mix paints! Here are some ideas for guessing what color it will become.
These activities help older kindergarteners learn while imagining how colors change.
They may already know some combinations, like red and blue making purple, or yellow and blue making green.
As a variation, don’t just mix colors—try painting pictures with the colors you create, or doing crafts that put the color combinations to practical use.
It also sounds fun to experiment by mixing different amounts, or by adding materials other than paint to explore how the colors change!
Animal either-or quiz
Time limit: 10 seconds! Let’s think within a limited time! Here are ideas for a two-choice animal quiz.
For example, you can ask questions like “Which one is the tiger?” while showing photos or illustrations, and have players answer within 10 seconds.
Having a time limit helps children make quick decisions and develop the ability to arrive at answers instantly.
As variations, you could have them answer using hints like animal sounds or characteristics, or make it a food-related quiz such as carnivore vs.
herbivore.
It’s a fun way to learn and build animal knowledge!
Silhouette Quiz
Let’s use hints and silhouettes to find the answer! Here are some silhouette quiz ideas.
They’re perfect for older preschoolers to enjoy while building their observation skills.
Show silhouettes of animals or objects and have the children guess what they are.
Because you give hints as they answer, kids can tackle the challenge with confidence.
For variations, you can reveal the silhouette little by little in a step-by-step silhouette quiz, or let the children touch the actual object and use that as a hint.
Learning visually helps nurture interest in colors and shapes, making it a fun way to learn!
