Introducing riddles and quizzes for preschoolers to enjoy at Christmas

Finland

Finland may be a country that children are not very familiar with. Try looking for where it is on a world map or in an encyclopedia. It could also be a valuable experience to find out what the Santa Claus Village in Finland is like.

reindeer

Kai, who is very close friends with Santa Claus, was a reindeer. The reindeer is Santa’s very kind partner who loads precious presents onto the sleigh with Santa and delivers them to everyone on a cold Christmas day.

Australia

When Santa comes to Japan, he arrives riding a sleigh, but in Australia he comes in from the sea on a surfboard. You might wonder, “Isn’t it cold to come from the ocean in winter?” but it’s fine because December is summer in Australia.

strawberry

If you split the number 15 into 1 and 5 and read them separately in Japanese, you get ichi and go, so the correct answer was ichigo (strawberry). Strawberries are often used as toppings on cakes eaten at Christmas, aren’t they? They’re sweet and tangy and very delicious. By the way, it’s said that the best season for strawberries is from January to February.

Because I feel embarrassed being seen while handing out presents.

You might want to meet Santa, who brings your favorite toys and the things you asked for, but actually Santa is very shy and doesn’t want to be seen while he’s delivering presents. So he makes sure the children are asleep before he brings them to your home!

What kind of Santa comes before Christmas? As the song says, he must be a hasty one. The stick that such a Santa carries was called “Awatembō” (a hasty fellow). Let’s hope this time he doesn’t rush and comes on Christmas!
