For toddlers and elementary schoolers! Fun quizzes and riddles to enjoy at a daycare farewell party

10 years as a kindergarten teacher / elementary school teacher / junior and senior high school teacher / childminderkepiko
Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music, Faculty of Music (now: Department of Music Culture and Education, Early Childhood Music Education major). In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher. After graduating from university, I worked as a kindergarten teacher for 10 years and as an after-school childcare instructor for 7 years, then took a position as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I engaged in activities that introduced Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational activities, working with many children. Later, through freelance writing, planning, and editing at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and sharing. Drawing on the perspective cultivated in the field of education and my experience as an editor, I provide practical information with an emphasis on both input and output, mainly in areas related to music and children. My hobbies include instruments, singing, handicrafts, toys, drawing, traditional games, the outdoors, and books. My special skill is spinning-top tricks.

After working for five years at an after-school childcare club and three years at a nursery school, I began working as a freelance writer. I’m a mother of two children. Inspired by playing the flute in the school wind ensemble in elementary school, I joined a jazz club at university. I’ve also incorporated ukulele and piano performance into childcare. Playing, laughing, feeling sad, feeling frustrated—through all kinds of experiences, I want children to grow.

For toddlers and elementary schoolers! Fun quizzes and riddles you can enjoy at a daycare farewell party (1–10)

Parts Quiz

Can you score a perfect 100? Pokémon Body Parts Quiz: Generation II (Johto Region) Edition

Parts Quiz

Prepare two sheets of paper: a black sheet with a round hole cut out, and another sheet with drawings of animals or characters.

Place the black sheet on top of the drawing sheet, and look only at the part that shows through the circle.

The game is to guess what’s drawn.

It’s fun to identify the answer by imagining from the shapes and colors visible through the circle! You can tailor it to kids’ favorite characters—like Anpanman, Precure, or Pokémon—depending on their age, so children from about 2 years old up to elementary schoolers can enjoy it.

Since it’s a farewell party, it’s also recommended to turn characters from stories you’ve explored in past recitals or sports days into quiz material!

The answer is a stack of three pictures!Birthday party Happy Birthday Drawing Quiz Nursery teacher / Childcare worker Birthday #BirthdayPartyPerformance #Omiya Michinoko Nursery School #Chiikawa
♪ Pajama Parties Song – Pajama Parties

Stimulate your imagination! This is a quiz where you stack three pictures.

You draw illustrations on transparent sheets like vinyl, and when you layer them, a single answer appears.

For example, the first sheet has the outline, the second has the eyes and mouth, and the third has the ears—stack them, and an animal emerges.

You can also create quizzes with vehicles, buildings, and many other themes.

If you can’t find the ideal transparent sheets, using clear ziplock bags is a good substitute.

The opening can act as a handle, making them easy to use.

It gets even more exciting when not only adults but also children take the lead in thinking and posing the questions.

It’s a game that helps nurture imagination while you play.

For toddlers and elementary school kids! Fun quizzes and riddles for farewell parties at daycare (11–20)

Voice-Guessing Quiz

How about a “Guess the Voice” quiz with friends and teachers? Have one representative come to the front, put on a blindfold or face the wall, and then have close friends or the homeroom teacher call out to them from behind.

Even if they’re close, it’s surprisingly hard to tell who it is just by voice.

If simply calling out isn’t lively enough, you can have the callers say lines from characters the kids love or try tongue twisters—then the kids watching will enjoy it too.

Odd one out quiz

Odd One Out Quiz: 10 Questions! A Word Game for Adults and Seniors [Easy & Challenging]

Odd one out quiz

It’s a game where you line up three to four pictures that share something in common—such as color, shape, or type—and then add one picture that doesn’t share the common trait.

Players guess which one is the odd one out.

By carefully thinking about what the common theme might be as they look at the pictures, children develop their reasoning and thinking skills, making it great brain exercise.

Mixing a fruit among vegetables or an insect among animals lets kids join in while having fun.

For children about to start elementary school, it’s also nice to include questions with an elementary school theme!

Gesture Quiz

[For 5-year-olds] Can you really get into character?! Gesture game!

Gesture Quiz

In a gesture quiz, where you convey objects or events using only body movements and facial expressions without words, the more participants there are, the more each child’s interpretations and images add to the fun.

Since you pick up what the previous person wanted to express and then use your own body to pass it on to the next person, the answer might end up turning into something unexpected.

When it’s time to give the final answer, it’s a nail-biting moment to see how the gestures were passed along.

It’s a quiz everyone can get excited about together.
