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.
Nursery Teacher Mom Writertsukada moe
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.

Professor Derby

@mimasakadaigaku
Go, teacher!#Mimasaka University Thank-you party
♬ Battles Without Honor and Humanity – Shinji Akita

Let us introduce a teacher derby that will liven up your kindergarten graduation party.

This is a game that involves the teachers’ cooperation.

First, you tell a few teachers a challenge.

For example, for the challenge “say a tongue twister without stumbling,” the participants decide which teacher they think can say the tongue twister smoothly and place points on their choice.

If the teacher they chose manages to say it without stumbling, they earn the points.

Since the children have spent a long time with their teachers, they probably know who is good at what, so be sure to enjoy playing this game together with the kids!

Name-guessing game

Thank-You Party Name-Matching Game

Name-guessing game

A name-guessing quiz using photos taken as a record of growth.

We’ll look at childhood photos and try to guess who’s who.

Children’s faces change little by little as they grow, don’t they? Prepare several photos, and if it’s too difficult, offer a hint by showing a photo closer to the person’s current age.

Cute childhood photos are sure to get everyone excited.

I think it will be a wonderful time to share memories of growth together.

Photos from when parents or teachers were little would probably be a hit too.

Hiragana Quiz

[Hiragana Quiz] Find the one word that's different! [For toddlers / kindergarteners / ages 4–6 / educational video / educational animation / odd one out] Hiragana quiz

Hiragana Quiz

An idea for a hiragana quiz that lets you learn hiragana like a game.

On a screen or on paper, you look for the odd one out among a set of hiragana characters.

For example, imagine a row of き with a single さ mixed in.

I’d like learners to approach it like a spot-the-difference activity, thinking, “Where’s the odd one out?” Then gradually make it more complex by moving from characters to words and increasing the number of characters.

It’s also great because everyone can work together cooperatively.

Real Spot the Difference

[For toddlers] Real Spot-the-Difference!

Real Spot the Difference

It’s a game where you try a spot-the-difference challenge—not with drawings, but with real people.

You’ll first look at a lineup of people holding various props, then see them again and think about what’s changed compared to the earlier scene.

What matters is memorizing the initial setup thoroughly, down to the small details, and noticing subtle discrepancies when it switches.

Adjust the difficulty by varying the size and number of differences, and get everyone excited by challenging them with trickier changes.
