[Childcare] Quiz collection to enjoy in December!

December is when the real cold sets in, but it’s also full of fun events like Christmas and rice-cake pounding! Christmas is great, of course, but we also want children to learn about traditional Japanese customs like the winter solstice, year-end cleaning, and mochitsuki.

So this time, we’re introducing a quiz related to December.

It covers Christmas as well as seasonal foods, so feel free to use it as an introduction to events at your preschool or to fill small pockets of free time!

On Christmas night, Santa brings gifts to children, right? In the past, it was said that he would come into the house through the chimney at night, but since there are few houses with chimneys in Japan, these days it seems he comes in through the window!

Quiz! What is this picture book? [Challenger: Keisuke Yoneda]
What is this picture book?

How many questions can you get right? Here’s an idea for a “What’s this picture book?” game.

In daycare, children encounter all kinds of picture books every day—teachers’ recommendations, personal favorites, friends’ favorites, and even books popular with the infant class.

This time, let’s hold a quiz tournament using the picture books at the daycare.

A nice bonus is that teachers can customize how they present the questions! It can also be a chance to nurture memory by seeing how well children remember the characters and stories.

Give it a try on this occasion.

In conclusion

We introduced a quiz related to December.

After Christmas in December, year-end house cleaning, rice-cake pounding, and New Year’s Eve come right away.

We hope the quiz will spark interest in traditional Japanese customs like rice-cake pounding and New Year’s Eve.

Even adults might find questions they surprisingly don’t know, so be sure to try playing together with the kids!
