I wonder what animal’s voice it is?
Animals appear frequently in picture books, nursery rhymes, and cartoons, so they feel familiar to children.
So how about trying an animal sound quiz during the thank-you party’s quiz time? Gather sounds that everyone knows—like dogs, cats, pigs, and cows—along with those of animals whose calls are surprisingly unfamiliar, and turn them into a quiz.
It will be a fun time that leads to new discoveries and knowledge for the kids.
For tougher questions, adding video hints or making the answers multiple-choice will make it easier for children to respond.
Why do flamingos stand on one leg?
- Because it only has a leg on one side
- Because it's cold.
- Because it's easy to keep balance.
See the answer
Because it's cold.
It is said that flamingos stand on one leg to regulate their body temperature. Because they live near water, their legs are prone to getting cold. To stay warm and comfortable, they tuck one leg into their body, which is covered with feathers.
Animal Sounds Quiz
Let’s liven things up with an animal sounds quiz! As the name suggests, it’s a quiz where you listen to animal sounds and guess which animal they belong to.
Easy examples include cats and dogs, but if you want to make it harder, how about giraffe sounds or panda sounds? Kids might be surprised to hear the calls of animals whose names they know but whose sounds they’ve never heard.
There are many videos that feature animal sounds, so be sure to look them up and make good use of them.
Animal Gesture Quiz
Capture the features and act them out! Here’s an idea for an animal gesture quiz.
It’s a unique game where you communicate answers using only movement—no words allowed! Think, “How does this animal walk?” and use your body to express it, conveying the animal’s traits without speaking.
Humorous gestures like a kangaroo’s hopping or a turtle’s slow shuffle are sure to fill the room with laughter! By remembering each animal’s characteristics, this fun idea lets you learn while playing through the quiz.
Whose foot is it?
Enjoy a “Whose Foot Is It?” quiz while watching videos.
This idea uses videos available on platforms like YouTube.
In the video, an animal’s foot appears first, and you guess which animal it belongs to.
You’ll see everything from animals with distinctive feet, like horses, to trickier ones, like monkeys.
The wide variety keeps it from getting boring.
If you’re not using videos, you can recreate the activity with photos and cut-out construction paper.
Try whichever suits the situation.
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!

Animal Silhouette Quiz
Heart-pounding excitement—what animal could this silhouette be? It’s an Animal Silhouette Quiz where kids look at the silhouettes of animals and guess what they are.
As the name suggests, children see animals rendered as black silhouettes and try to identify them.
Choosing animals with distinctive body parts, like elephants or giraffes, will likely increase the correct answer rate.
On the other hand, you can also create trickier questions—like a horse silhouette leading to “zebra,” or a bird silhouette leading to “duck” or “mallard.” Adjust the difficulty to match the children’s ages and interests, and have them take on the challenge!
