[Preschool/Childcare] Let's have fun together! A three-choice animal quiz

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.

Quizzes are a great way to get kids excited.

As they move up through the grades, their interest in familiar living creatures tends to grow.

Animals often appear in picture books, so they feel very familiar to children.

So this time, we’ve put together a set of multiple-choice (three-option) animal quizzes that teachers and kids can enjoy together.

There may even be questions that adults think they know, but actually don’t.

If you want to deepen your understanding of animals or simply have a fun time, be sure to use these quizzes as a reference.

How many hours does a koala sleep in a day?

20 hours

To be precise, about 18 to 20 hours. Since a day has 24 hours, they’re sleeping most of the time. Once the children start to understand how to read a clock, let’s have them check how long that actually is.
