Guess and have fun! Drawing QuizNEW!
@omiyamichinoko Tell me when you know the answer! It’s a quiz we did at the birthday party.Drawing QuizNursery teacher / Childcare worker#BirthdayPartyPerformanceBirthdayPerformance / ShowBirthday partyHappy Birthday#Omiya Michinoko Nursery School
♪ Original Song – Omiya Michinoko Nursery School – Omiya Michinoko Nursery School
This is a quiz where you partially draw pictures on transparent sheets, and when you stack them all together, players guess what the final picture is.
Draw them in order starting from the first sheet, and when you’re done, ask, “What could it be?” It’s a game that helps develop thinking skills while having fun, because you need to consider which part each illustration represents, find possible answers, and compare them.
The illustrations should be motifs that children are very familiar with.
If you’re doing it for a birthday, a present box is a great choice!
Exciting! Balloon TheaterNEW!

♪ Original Song – Omiya Michinoko Nursery School – Omiya Michinoko Nursery School
Balloon theater is exciting because it’s fun to watch the bag gradually inflate, and your heart races with the anticipation of “What will it become?” So why not perform it as an act at a birthday party? Prepare a gift box and ask the children, “What do you think is inside?” Let everyone enjoy imagining and sharing their guesses.
Inflate the bag little by little so they can savor the thrill of wondering what it will turn into.
Since it’s a birthday, making it into a cake might be a big hit!
Fun to search! Transforming GameNEW!
This is a game where you compare teachers before and after they transform and find the differences.
The classic spot-the-difference is done by comparing illustrations, but since the teachers can’t duplicate themselves, you’ll need to remember their pre-transformation appearance carefully.
Changes range from easy ones—like holding a toy or a piece of fruit—to trickier ones, such as a different T-shirt color or accessories.
Be sure to include a variety of change patterns and encourage the children to aim for a perfect score!
Transformation Tunnel!NEW!
When you go through the transformation tunnel, cows turn into milk and wheat turns into flour! It’s fun to wonder what everything will become.
First, ask the children to identify the original picture, then ask, “What will happen when it goes through the tunnel?” They’re sure to answer with lots of imagination.
In this story, we use the transformed items to make a birthday cake in the end! Let the children with birthdays this month choose their favorite fruits for the topping, and complete a delicious fruit cake.
What will come out? Paper Cup TheaterNEW!
A thrilling paper cup theater that celebrates a birthday by featuring three actions—“fly,” “run,” and “inflate”! Each paper cup has its own moving mechanism.
Stack two cups and let go to make them jump like a rocket, release your hand and they start running on their own, or add air and they puff up to make an entrance.
Each one shows off its specialty to delight the birthday child.
Attach any illustrations you like to the cups and perform.
The mechanisms are classic, so they’re easy to make!
