Kanji fill-in-the-blank quiz

[Brain Training] Easy Kanji Fill-in-the-Blank Quiz (10 Questions): Think of the single kanji character that fits in the ▢ (For kids and adults)

There are many words and expressions that seem perfectly ordinary to adults but feel “hard!” for children.

For example, when something is completely outmatched or the difference in ability is too great, we say “haga tatanai” (literally, “the teeth won’t stand”), but to a child, it might make no sense at all—“Do teeth stand?” The kind of experiential knowledge naturally absorbed from everyday reading and life can be filled in endlessly by a child’s curiosity.

In that sense, kanji fill-in-the-blank quizzes might be word games that children and adults can enjoy on the same level.

Highly recommended for family recreation!

Rule Quiz

[Rule Quiz] 5 questions that will refresh your brain if you spot the pattern and solve them! A pattern puzzle smart elementary schoolers are solving [Math Puzzle]

Even things we see every day can be hard to recognize when they’re turned into a quiz, right? Let’s have fun with the ever-popular “pattern quiz” you see on TV shows! For example, what letter do you think comes after “SMTWTF”? The answer is “S.” Those letters are the initials of the days of the week in English: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and so on.

The “S” stands for Saturday.

It seems perfect for passing the time in the car on a family trip!

Switcheroo Quiz

[Sensory Integration] “Picture Card Swap Quiz”

A “switcheroo quiz” where you line up picture cards, have your partner memorize them, then swap out some for different cards and ask what changed.

It helps improve memory! Start with about three cards and gradually increase the number to adjust the difficulty.

You can also increase the number of cards you swap to make it progressively harder.

Beyond using cards, you can enjoy variations too—like swapping one of the Hina dolls displayed for Hinamatsuri and guessing which doll was changed.

Pictogram Quiz

Origins of Kanji: Pictograph Quiz

How many types of kanji origins that you learned in elementary school do you remember? The ones taught in elementary school are said to be four: pictographs (shōkei), simple indicatives (shiji), compound ideographs (kaii), and phonetic-semantic compounds (keisei).

The easiest to grasp is pictographs.

The character for “mountain” was created from the shape of a row of peaks, and the character for “river” from the lines of flowing water.

The “Pictograph Quiz” is a quiz that lets you learn exactly how these characters originated.

It’s also great because it doesn’t feel like studying at all! Even younger children who haven’t started school yet might find it interesting.

Logic Quiz: Who is in First Place?

[Logic Quiz] Who’s the liar who ate the pudding? [Super Hard]

Don’t you often see the phrase “language-based arithmetic” on cram school flyers? Even though it’s math, in the end you can’t solve problems without language ability.

That’s why this method strengthens math while training your language skills.

To build your language ability, try tackling some “logic puzzles”! The term “logic puzzles” might sound difficult, but if you process the clues the way you read a Japanese language question, you’ll definitely solve them! …Or at least I think you will.

The trick is to take detailed notes on the hints.

Lateral Thinking Quiz

Sea Turtle Soup: An Impossible Elevator? Try This Lateral Thinking Quiz!

You’ve probably been hearing the term “lateral thinking” a lot lately.

Online and on video platforms, there are tons of quizzes and games that use lateral thinking, sometimes introduced under the name “situation puzzles.” The concept was originally proposed around 1967 by Edward de Bono, and it refers to a method for generating problem-solving ideas without being constrained by conventional wisdom or past experience.

The famous “Egg of Columbus” story—where Columbus stands an egg upright by cracking it—is considered an example of lateral thinking.

These puzzles are rarely solved in a straightforward way.

Why not give them a try yourself?
