[Sketchbook Theater] Whose House Is It?
![[Sketchbook Theater] Whose House Is It?](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/wXsl_Wx5S-A/sddefault.jpg)
It’s a quiz where a house is drawn in a sketchbook, and players guess the animal that lives there using a part of its body visible through the window as a hint.
The key point is which part of the animal you show in the window: if you clearly show a distinctive feature, it’s easy to guess; if you deliberately hide the defining traits, you can make the puzzle more challenging.
To ensure everyone is satisfied when the answer is revealed, prepare a silhouette of the animal and the answer cut from stacked paper so they match exactly in shape.
It also seems fun to create questions where multiple animals could fit—like when a tail is visible—and guide players toward an incorrect guess to build excitement.
Squirrel Cheek Silhouette Quiz
Here’s a squirrel cheek silhouette quiz that captivates children with a unique idea.
First, show the kids a sketchbook featuring a squirrel character.
On the first page, depict the squirrel looking hungry.
On the next page, show the squirrel’s cheeks puffed up, with the silhouette of food appearing inside.
Then take out paper cutouts of different foods and have the children guess what’s inside.
Silhouette quiz with paper puppets
Here’s a silhouette quiz using paper theater (peepusaat) that can help nurture imagination and creativity.
“Peepusaat” is a paper puppet theater technique where you draw different illustrations on the front and back of a fan-like card, and by flipping it, you express a change.
This time, you draw silhouettes like circles and triangles on one side, and the answers—such as a clock or a lunch box—on the other side.
It’s fun to watch the picture appear with a quick flip.
Another key point of this idea is to prepare silhouettes that can lead to various possible answers.

Vegetable & Fruit Silhouette Quiz
There are probably quite a few cases where people don’t know what the foods they usually eat actually look like in their natural form.
That’s why I recommend a silhouette quiz featuring vegetables and fruits.
This quiz would present items that often appear on the dinner table, such as Chinese cabbage and carrots.
Introducing foods that many children dislike, like green peppers, might help them feel more familiar with them.
It would also be fun to include items that people don’t often encounter, like dekopon.
Let’s feature a variety of foods to spark interest.
Insect Silhouette Quiz
Many children love insects, don’t they? Here’s a suggestion: an insect silhouette quiz.
You can feature popular insects like rhinoceros beetles and stag beetles, or familiar ones like butterflies and pill bugs.
There are plenty of illustrations and videos available that are perfect for making silhouette quizzes, so using those to prepare could be a great idea.
This quiz might not only be fun, but also spark interest in insects and bug-catching.
Sea Creatures Silhouette Quiz
How about trying a silhouette quiz on sea creatures? The ocean isn’t home to just fish.
Crustaceans like shrimp and mammals like sea otters live there too.
It’s also fascinating that there are gigantic animals like whales.
Taking on this quiz might help you discover creatures you didn’t know about and spark an interest in their ecology.
There are many quiz videos on YouTube and plenty of image resources available, so try finding ones you like.
Anpanman silhouette quiz
Anpanman is an anime loved by many children.
One of its biggest appeals is the large number of unique and colorful characters.
In fact, in 2009 it was recognized by Guinness World Records as the anime with the most characters.
With an Anpanman silhouette quiz, the variety is so rich that everyone can stay engaged and excited right to the end.
It’s also a great idea to play related YouTube videos that feature the questions.
