Famous Snack Character Quiz
Some of the snacks we eat every day have their own characters, right? How about livening up a birthday party by hosting a quiz themed around those snack characters? It’s simple: show a snack character and have everyone guess which snack it belongs to.
Start with super-famous characters that kids know well, then gradually raise the difficulty to make it even more exciting.
You might find that people recognize the character but just can’t quite name it—surprisingly tricky and a real brain teaser!
Word Sniper Kids
Word Sniper Kids is a card game that helps children enjoy getting familiar with words.
Each card has a prompt on the front and a letter on the back.
The rule is simple: whoever quickly says a word that matches the prompt and starts with that letter wins the card.
The difficulty changes depending on the prompt-letter combination, so if it’s tough, adults can offer hints as you play.
Unexpected or impressive answers often pop up, keeping everyone engaged and creating a warm, fun atmosphere.
It also supports broad vocabulary learning, so gather the kids and enjoy this game together!
Anison Intro
Liven up the birthday party with an Anime Song Intro Quiz that both kids and adults can enjoy! It’s simple: play just the intro of an anime theme song and have participants guess which anime it’s from.
Since it tests both sharp ears and quick reflexes, it might be surprisingly challenging for those who aren’t used to it.
If you’re doing this at a kindergarten or preschool birthday party, start with popular anime songs for children and easier questions, then gradually raise the difficulty to make it even more exciting.
Through music, everyone can enjoy the party more and feel a stronger sense of togetherness.
Butt Letter Quiz
It’s a quiz where you use your butt to form letters and everyone guesses the answer.
It’s the kind of quiz that really shows your personality, but it’s simple enough for kids and adults to enjoy without any props.
You can make it cute or big and dramatic—it sounds like a game that’s fun to watch as well.
Panel Theater: Which one? Which one? Which could it be?
Panel theaters are also very popular as early childhood education materials.
The charm is that you can stick pieces on and peel them off, move characters to advance the story, and let children participate and enjoy it together! You can use this idea for a birthday party, too.
For example, a very hungry animal arrives and finds two shapes that look exactly alike.
One of them hides the animal’s favorite food.
Turn it into a quiz: Which of the two is it hiding behind? Because it’s easy to stick on and peel off, you can create all kinds of stories.
If you make it something that gets the kids laughing, the birthday party is sure to be a big hit.
