Introducing riddles and quizzes for preschoolers to enjoy at Christmas

20 years of experience as a nursery teacher / kindergarten teacherhiyoko sensei
I’m Hiyoko-sensei, a former nursery school teacher from Hyogo Prefecture. Ever since I was five, my dream was to become a childcare worker, and before I knew it, 20 years had passed since I achieved that dream. Through singing and playing with the children, I kept working with the spirit of someone in their twenties, even as I increasingly felt my physical limits year by year (haha). From here on, I’d like to share helpful information carefully and thoughtfully, drawing on my on-site experience.

Christmas is a time children look forward to with excitement.

Some preschools and kindergartens may prepare various performances and activities as a special treat.

As part of the Christmas fun, why not include riddles and quizzes?

This time, we’ll introduce easy riddles and multiple-choice quizzes that even young children can answer.

You’ll be able to see the adorable sight of children thinking hard.

Teachers, please join in—think together, offer hints, and enjoy the activities with the children.

Let’s have a wonderful Christmas.
