What does Santa Claus hand out?
- present
- Homework
- little star
See the answer
present
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!
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!
