Simple! A quiz for kids. Let’s develop their thinking skills!

Witty Riddle

[Brain Teaser] You’ll need some out-of-the-box thinking. Give your brain a workout!

Do you know what day January 9 is? It’s actually “Tontchi Day” (Wit Day).

Speaking of tontchi (wordplay riddles), you think of Ikkyu-san—since Ikkyu is associated with 1 and 9, that makes January 9.

Even that itself is a pun and a play on words—how fun! “Tontchi” is written 頓智 and means “quick-witted wisdom that comes out on the spot.” There are all kinds of tontchi, too.

Let’s all get into the spirit with some “tontchi quizzes.” If you draw the questions on a big sheet of poster paper, it could work great for parties and events.

Some of the questions are a bit “tricky” or mischievous, but that’s part of the charm!

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?

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!

To spark even a little interest in English, let’s try an English fill-in-the-blank quiz! If the goal is to get familiar with English, the number of correct answers doesn’t matter.
