Five differences puzzle
Let’s compare two Halloween-themed illustrations of “Nigirinjer” and find the differences.
It seems there are five differences between the two images.
Can you find them all within the 120-second time limit? Spot-the-difference puzzles that foster concentration and observation also seem to help develop children’s flashes of inspiration.
Feel free to adjust the time limit—shorter or longer—according to the age of the child taking on the challenge.
Halloween riddle
A riddle is said to be a quiz that uses wordplay, requiring answers that involve a clever twist on the question.
While it may not always align with real-world facts, it’s best approached as a word game.
This time, we’ve got Halloween-themed riddles! The time limit is five seconds per question, but if that feels too short, feel free to extend it and keep challenging yourself.
There may be questions that make kids exclaim, “Oh, that’s what it means!”
Halloween trivia quiz
There are three questions in total! Try aiming for a perfect score.
This quiz features three questions about Halloween, and it’s nice that each one offers four choices.
Even if you don’t know the answers at first, you can pick up fun facts about Halloween and vegetables through the quiz.
By hosting it with clear explanations and a cheerful tone, it’s likely to spark children’s curiosity and spirit of inquiry.
It’s a great activity to include for Halloween, a once-a-year event.
A 35-question Halloween quiz
Let’s use a quiz to see how much you know about Halloween! There are a total of 35 questions.
Even if you have no idea what the answer is, you can choose from three options, so one of the fun parts is being able to learn as you take the quiz.
There’s a time limit, but if many children want a bit more time to think, it’s a good idea to pause the video as they go.
Beyond just dressing up and getting candy, it would be great if they develop interest in the world and in the event itself by learning about its origins and meaning.
Change quiz! Where is the different one?
Have fun with the preschool class! As children grow into the preschool class, they start noticing all sorts of things and their powers of observation develop day by day.
A quiz that’s sure to get them excited is the “Change Quiz.” An illustration is shown, and the simple rule is to find what has changed within the time limit.
It requires concentration, so the children will likely be engrossed as they participate.
The time limit is 30 seconds.
After 30 seconds, the answers are revealed, so it could be fun to pause the video and ask the children what changed.

Rhythm de English
Let’s enjoy Halloween while engaging with English! How about having fun learning Halloween-related characters and items in English as you play? By experiencing English to a rhythm, it seems we can nurture children’s feelings of “I want to try!” and “This is fun!” Plus, if you try a silhouette quiz that uses the English words they’ve learned, they can play while applying what they remember, helping them pick up vocabulary through play.
Take this opportunity to give it a try!
Dance ‘Poupelle of Chimney Town’
When it comes to classic entertainment or performances, dance is a staple—but you want something with a Halloween vibe, right? This song by Rozarina is the theme for the film “Poupelle of Chimney Town,” and since the story is set on Halloween night, it’s a perfect fit as a dance track.
It’s a routine that really lifts the Halloween mood, especially with kids in cute costumes dancing along.
There’s also a dance-version music video available, so why not practice with that?
