[For Seniors] Quiz about April. Perfect for brain training (1–10)
Quiz in a spring field
Because plants grow differently depending on the season, there are of course vegetables that thrive in spring.
This is a quiz where we show photos of such springtime vegetables and have participants guess the name of each vegetable.
As more and more types of produce are available in supermarkets year-round, this can also prompt the realization that certain vegetables are actually in season in spring.
If the answer becomes too obvious just by seeing the vegetable itself, another recommended approach is to use photos of the flowers before the vegetables have formed and have participants guess from those.
Spring seasonal vegetables and fruits quiz
The peak season for fruits and vegetables is when they taste their best, and some people may look forward to those seasonal peaks every year.
This quiz explores how much you know about the seasons of various fruits and vegetables, while also touching on how to identify the most delicious ones.
Even if you already know which conditions make them taste better, understanding the reasons behind it can make choosing vegetables even more enjoyable.
If you can pick out the tastiest ones, it might even spark a newfound love for more types of vegetables.
Difficult-to-read kanji related to spring
Spring is a season when we feel warmth, and many people strongly associate it with plants and animals becoming active.
This is a quiz that challenges you to read kanji related to spring, including springtime plants and animals.
It can be hard to give the reading from the kanji alone, so it may be easier if you use the kanji used and the season to make an educated guess.
You might find that there are words you know in speech but have never had a chance to write in kanji, so this quiz could lead to new discoveries.
Quiz about cherry blossoms
Cherry blossoms, which can be said to represent Japan, are so familiar and ever-present that we rarely have chances to learn much about them.
How about picking up various trivia about sakura through a quiz and renewing your sense of closeness to these flowers around you? Because they are such a traditional motif, they appear in many kinds of design, so questions that focus on that aspect are also recommended.
By appreciating not only the cherry blossoms themselves but also the surrounding knowledge, you’ll come to see just how important sakura are to the Japanese people.
Unfortunate Creatures Quiz 2
Creatures different from humans exist all over the world, and precisely because they live differently, we can’t help but feel that every one of their actions has meanings humans can’t fully grasp.
This quiz focuses on the arguably “unfortunate” aspects of some animals’ behaviors to deepen our understanding and affection for them.
Since the premise is “unfortunate,” you might predict that the more unfortunate option is often the correct answer—so we’ll ask you to consider the reasons as well.
Even though animals would presumably want to avoid pain and suffering, limited abilities can lead them to repeat certain behaviors almost as if by habit.
Through this, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of animals.
Spring Flowers Quiz 1
As spring arrives and the weather warms up, we start seeing more and more vividly colored flowers, don’t we? This is a quiz to test how many spring-blooming flowers you can recognize by looking at photos and thinking of their names.
First, check whether you can connect each photo with the correct flower name, and from there we recommend diving deeper into learning about each flower.
If you firmly learn their blooming seasons and characteristics, you might find yourself paying more attention to flowers when you look outside.
Spring Flower Quiz 2
Spring is the season when it gets warmer and animals and plants become more active, and there are flowers you often see around this time.
This is a quiz that tests how many spring-blooming plants you know by having you identify their names from photos.
Even for flowers you always see in that season, there may be some whose names you’ve never really paid attention to.
In such cases, use hints—like fill-in-the-blank names—to think them through carefully and turn it into an opportunity to gain new knowledge.
