[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.

Hiragana Rearrangement Quiz
Let’s find the answers within the time limit! Here are ideas for a hiragana rearrangement quiz.
It’s a perfect activity to help kindergarten seniors enjoy getting familiar with hiragana.
Try a quiz where you rearrange three hiragana characters to make the correct word! Set a time limit so everyone can excitedly think of the answers together.
Since kids can study hiragana while playing, they’ll likely stay focused.
Once they get used to it, try increasing the number of characters or shortening the time limit.
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.
Insect Evolution Quiz
What kind of adult insect will it become? Here are some ideas for a Bug Evolution Quiz.
These ideas offer a fun learning experience for kids who love insects and for those who don’t.
Children will be excited to guess which insects beetles, cicadas, and mantis eggs will grow into.
It’s fascinating that they can develop an interest in the mysteries of life and the process of growth through familiar insects.
When you hear, “I wonder what the larva of that insect looks like?”, looking it up in a field guide or encyclopedia can deepen their learning!

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!
Animal Sounds Quiz
Try to see how many you can get right! Here’s an idea for an animal sound quiz.
Listen to animal sounds and think, “Which animal is this?” and answer! For example, sounds like a dog’s “woof-woof” or a cat’s “meow” are easy to recognize, right? A variety of animals will be featured, so it could be fun to compete and see how many you can identify correctly.
As a variation, you could also show pictures of the animals and have the children imitate the sounds as they answer.
