Fun quizzes that liven up a birthday party (1–10)
Car Quiz

For kids who like cars, such as boys, a car quiz would likely make them happy.
There are some quite unusual cars out there, and it would be wonderful if this could spark their interest in various cars and professions.
For slightly older children, let’s choose some more niche or enthusiast-oriented cars.
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.
Insect Quiz

Speaking of insect quizzes, they’re perfect for little boys’ birthday parties, aren’t they? Some kids might not like bugs, but I’ve heard there are many who love stag beetles and rhinoceros beetles.
For kids who are a bit more into it, quizzes featuring various types of rhinoceros and stag beetles are recommended.
Funny quizzes to liven up a birthday party (11–20)
Lift-the-flap panel: Whose ears are these?

An interactive panel with clever features that lets you enjoy communicating with children.
It’s a perfect idea not only for kindergarten and nursery school activities, but also for birthday parties.
For example, show only the ears of an animal illustration and have the children guess what animal it is! At first, flash the ears quickly to see how the children react, and interact with them by asking things like, “Did you see it?” or “Should I go slower?”—that’s the trick.
It could also be fun to switch it up from just ears to noses, eyes, and so on.
Fun Quiz: The Little Gluttonous Ghost

If you’re not sure what activity to plan for a birthday party, why not liven things up with a Fun Quiz? “The Little Gluttonous Ghost” is a story about a hungry little ghost who opens the refrigerator door and sneaks bites of his favorite foods.
Show only the silhouettes of the foods in the fridge and have the children guess what they are! This Fun Quiz combines a quiz, a panel theater, and hand play, letting you enjoy a sense of unity with the kids.
Prepare lots of different foods to keep their attention and guarantee a lively time!
Pokémon Quiz
Do you know the Pokémon quiz? It’s a classic that livens up birthday parties! You only show distinctive parts like a Pokémon’s tail or ears and guess its name.
It’s simple, but everyone gets totally into it.
It also tests kids’ observation and memory, and if they love Pokémon, it’s a great chance to shine! When they get it right, they feel like a true Pokémon Master.
You’re sure to see their eyes light up.
Try it as a parent-child challenge to deepen your bond.
Give it a go!
Silhouette Quiz

Silhouette quizzes are one of kids’ favorite games, aren’t they? In a dimly lit room, just showing the shadow of an animal or a vehicle makes their eyes sparkle as they shoot their hands up and shout, “I know it!”—and you can’t help but smile, too.
Of course, it feels great when they get it right, but even if they’re wrong, they’re raring to go with, “I’ll get the next one!” How about adding a silhouette quiz to your next birthday party program? It’s perfect for nurturing children’s observation and imagination—and above all, it’s fun.
Whether with parents and kids, or the whole class, it’s sure to get everyone excited together!
