Recommended for upper grades! A fun, educational quiz for elementary school students

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.

Upper elementary school students are deepening their friendships and starting to have firm opinions of their own.

It’s also a time when they take an interest in many things and enjoy learning.

Their knowledge grows, and their thinking skills develop.

So here, we’ll introduce quizzes for elementary school students that let them learn while playing, drawn from various fields like school subjects and daily life.

They can have fun thinking them through together with friends.

It’s also a great opportunity for everyone to deepen their learning.

By all means, have fun and take on the challenge with your friends!

This puzzle is tricky because there are many possible answers.

Things that get hotter as it gets colder… You might be thinking of hand warmers or clothing, but the correct answer is something else.

First, try picturing a winter scene.

List a few things you associate with it, and think about “getting hot” as the keyword.

Also pay close attention to the fact that it’s written in hiragana! The answer is something everyone knows, and you’re likely to see it at least once in summer.

Here’s a hint: it’s something that melts in heat.

There are 5 candies. If you lick one, how many are there?

It seems like a question that would trip up adults more than children.

When you read the problem statement, you instinctively want to treat it like an arithmetic problem and think, “5 – 1 = 4, so the answer is 4!” But remember, it’s a trick question.

The hint to solving it is that the candy wasn’t given to someone else, nor did it disappear.

If you think about how many candies you have after you lick one, you should arrive at the correct answer.

An elementary school student with a flexible mind might solve it right away!

The “say it 10 times” quiz is probably a game that every elementary schooler has enjoyed at least once.

You have someone repeat the same word 10 times, then you ask a question.

The repeated word influences them, and they end up answering incorrectly.

Here, you’ll find four such ‘say it 10 times’ quizzes.

They’re questions you could figure out if you think carefully, but your accuracy drops if you rush—so be careful! It might help to assume that the first answer that pops into your head is wrong, and then think it through.
