Spring Riddles 2
How about enjoying some riddles that are perfect for spring and can even help with brain training and dementia prevention? These are riddles whose answers are spring-themed.
So if you can’t come up with an answer, it might help to give yourself the hint that it’s something related to spring.
Example riddles include: “It’s a ‘kaba’ (hippo), but what ‘kaba’ appears in spring?” and “What do you get when you gather ten ‘kabu’ (turnips)?” It could also be fun to create your own quiz using the spring theme as a constraint.
Spring Creatures Quiz
Spring, when the weather starts to warm up, is a time when animals become more active and plants grow vigorously, and their lively presence can make us feel a sense of joy.
This is a quiz themed around springtime creatures, where you look at photos and try to guess their names.
Because these are things we often see casually when the season comes, you may never have paid attention to their names.
Why not use this quiz as an opportunity to focus more closely on the nature of spring?

Spring Flowers Quiz 1
As spring arrives and the weather warms up, we start seeing more and more vividly colored flowers, don’t we? This is a quiz to test how many spring-blooming flowers you can recognize by looking at photos and thinking of their names.
First, check whether you can connect each photo with the correct flower name, and from there we recommend diving deeper into learning about each flower.
If you firmly learn their blooming seasons and characteristics, you might find yourself paying more attention to flowers when you look outside.
Cherry Blossom Hotspot Quiz
Cherry blossoms are a symbol of spring and can even be called a Japanese tradition, and when this season arrives, locations across the country known as cherry blossom viewing spots draw attention.
This is a quiz that presents various famous cherry blossom spots in photos and asks you to guess which prefecture they’re in and what the place is called.
If it’s a familiar place you’ve visited, it can be a chance to look back on memories, and even if it’s not, it helps deepen your knowledge.
Looking at a variety of photos and thinking about which scenery you prefer also seems like a fun way to get everyone excited.
Guess the Creature Quiz
This quiz asks you to look at a part of an animal photo and guess what animal it is.
Even with familiar animals, it can be hard to tell from just one part if you’re not used to seeing them, so it’s a good test of imagination and memory.
If you’re stuck, try checking the hints.
It’s also a good idea to provide multiple hints for the trickier animals.
And even if there are some you can’t figure out at all, don’t worry—at the very least you’ll learn something new.
Move on to the next question and give it a try.
It’s fun even if you get it wrong.
Fill-in crossword
This is a game where you complete a crossword puzzle that already has most of its letters filled in by filling the remaining blanks.
Thinking about which letters work both across and down, and then placing them one after another, helps stimulate your brain.
The more blanks there are to fill, the higher the difficulty, so encourage players to gradually try puzzles with multiple blank patterns.
Sometimes the letters alone won’t lead you to the answer, so in those cases, it’s recommended to reveal hints about the meanings of the words that go across and down.
Flying Insect Quiz
Here’s a quiz where you guess which insects can fly.
The premise itself is interesting, right? Three insects appear at a time, but there isn’t always just one correct answer, and it’s fascinating that some unexpected insects can or can’t fly.
Plus, the English names of the insects are shown, so you can learn those at the same time, which seems like great brain training.
If any unfamiliar insect names or behaviors catch your interest, it’s also recommended to look them up.
It’s a very informative quiz, isn’t it?
