Quiz for junior high school students
Once you graduate from elementary school and become a junior high school student, studying suddenly gets a lot harder, doesn’t it?
Here, we’re introducing plenty of quizzes designed for junior high students who have started building up various kinds of knowledge.
Most of the quizzes are based on school subjects like history, math, and Japanese, so you can use them as a fun way to preview or review your regular studies.
Depending on how you present the questions, they can feel like a casual game while still helping students gain solid knowledge, making them especially recommended for kids who aren’t fond of studying—they can enjoy learning as an extension of play.
Quiz for junior high school students (1–10)
Who am I? Quiz
This is a quiz where you answer with the names of historical figures who led revolutions and similar events.
The question text includes helpful hints like “I did ___,” making it easy to answer.
If you run it in a buzzer-quiz format, it gets exciting and also serves as a review of what was covered in class.
riddle
These riddles are perfect for middle schoolers, whose field of view and scope of thinking have broadened compared to elementary school students.
The thinking time is generally about 1 to 2 minutes; depending on the question, 3 minutes might be fine.
They’re ideal quizzes for the slightly competitive nature typical of middle school age.
Kanji quiz with the fish radical
This is a quiz that uses fish-related kanji—characters you might recognize but find hard to read.
It’s closer to trivia than to junior high study material, so you can enjoy it as a fun quiz.
Fish-related kanji range from easy ones to characters with difficult readings, and each was given with a specific meaning, so learning the meanings after the quiz is another part of the fun.
History Quiz
We study history in both elementary and junior high school, right? History quizzes are perfect for seeing how much of those lessons has really stuck! Tests and workbooks can kill your motivation, but when it’s in quiz form, you can enjoy it like a game.
With quick quizzes, you can thoroughly review tricky dates and the names of historical figures.
Even repeating the same questions multiple times helps fix them in your memory, so on the next test you might just get results that surprise everyone around you!
Fill-in-the-blank Kanji Quiz
For middle school students who have encountered many kanji from elementary through junior high, we recommend the Fill-in-the-Blank Kanji Quiz.
You place a single kanji in the center square and combine it with the kanji written on the four sides to form two-character compounds.
The kanji placed in the center must complete a valid compound with each of the four surrounding kanji.
Unlike the typical kanji fill-in questions you see on everyday tests, this quiz requires a bit more thinking.
Even if you complete one compound, if the others don’t work, you have to start over.
Build deeper kanji literacy with this advanced kanji fill-in quiz!
Math Formula Quiz
When you enter junior high school, arithmetic changes to mathematics and it becomes more difficult.
This is a quiz that uses mathematical formulas.
However, it’s not that hard—rather than solving problems, it’s a quiz that uses flexible thinking, so even junior high students who aren’t good at math will find it easy to try.
Matchstick Quiz
These quizzes are perfect for junior high school students, who have stronger thinking skills and can consider things from multiple angles compared to elementary school students.
They’re a bit like riddles, so it can be frustrating when you can’t solve them, but the sense of clarity and satisfaction when you do—whether by figuring it out yourself or hearing the answer—is really enjoyable.
Actually preparing matches and discussing the puzzles with the person next to you or in a group is another way to make it even more exciting.
Science Quiz
Science studied at a much deeper level than in elementary school.
You have to memorize everything from the names of chemicals and the names of tissues contained in plants to the names of the tools used in experiments.
To help check whether you’ve really learned them, it’s easier to present them in a quiz format.
Making it multiple-choice makes it even easier to answer and remember.
Social Media Quiz
These days, even junior high school students have smartphones and use social media.
It’s a convenient tool that lets you connect with friends and people far away, but at the same time, crimes related to social media are on the rise.
To avoid getting caught up in crime and to use social media correctly, let’s learn the right practices and potential dangers through an SNS quiz! By answering quiz questions—such as how many crimes are actually happening, what to do if you’re about to get involved in something risky, and what families should prepare together—you’ll learn how to protect yourself from the darker side of social media.
Make good use of it, and enjoy social media safely and responsibly!
Prefecture Puzzle & Quiz
Even if you know the names of the prefectures, you might not remember their shapes! There are probably quite a few middle schoolers who feel that way.
To grasp their locations, it’s better to remember not only the names of the prefectures but also their shapes.
So how about a quiz where you fit the shapes of the prefectures together like a puzzle? Try to identify which prefecture it is and where it’s located just by looking at the shape.
Coastal prefectures might be easier to recognize, but inland ones can be a bit tricky.
Still, if you can do this, you’ll have truly mastered Japan’s prefectures—more than you did back in elementary school!
