In addition, recalling Christmas helps them feel the season.

One-Character Kanji Quiz
In everyday life, everyone sees a lot of kanji, but how much people actually know varies from person to person.
This is a quiz that explores the readings of the kanji that fill our world, with winter as the overarching theme.
While the winter theme is a big hint, it may not be enough on its own, so let’s also provide targeted hints—such as narrowing down the category—to help guide players toward the answer.
It’s also a good idea to include kanji with unexpected readings to deepen participants’ knowledge about kanji.
A riddle with a winter theme
Riddles are the perfect brain teasers that rely on the creativity of rephrasing words.
Let’s present some winter-themed riddles and get people to loosen up their thinking and consider the answers carefully.
The fact that the theme is winter is a big hint, so answers may come to mind from winter events or motifs.
It’s most important that people arrive at the answers on their own, so let’s provide hints that gradually get closer to the solution.
Winter Natural Phenomena Quiz
In winter, when the temperature drops significantly, we see striking natural phenomena like snowfall and freezing water.
This quiz focuses on those winter phenomena, exploring the principles behind how they occur and what they’re called.
It’s a good idea to include questions about phenomena that happen only in especially cold regions of Japan or abroad to deepen interest in cold weather.
To encourage new discoveries and learning, it’s important not only to provide questions and answers, but also to view photos and videos of the phenomena together.
