[Quiz] A Collection of Quizzes You Can Use in February Childcare

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.

February brings severe cold, but many preschool and kindergarten teachers create activities themed around events like Setsubun and Valentine’s Day.

Reading picture books or using illustrations to introduce activities is wonderful, but what I’d like to introduce this time is a set of quizzes to enjoy in February.

In addition to Setsubun and Valentine’s Day, the quizzes also cover seasonal foods.

Let’s deepen children’s understanding of February in a fun way through quizzes!

Please make good use of these in your early childhood education setting!

[Quiz] A Collection of Quizzes You Can Use in February Childcare (11–20)

Vegetables that taste good when eaten in February are called winter vegetables. What kinds of characteristics do winter vegetables have?

It tastes sweet.
It tastes bitter.
It tastes sour.

See the answer

It tastes sweet.

Delicious winter vegetables to eat in February include Chinese cabbage, broccoli, and daikon radish. It’s said that winter vegetables become sweeter because they store sugars to protect themselves from the cold. If you’re not a big fan of vegetables, give winter produce a try!

Three-letter quiz! Will the teachers be able to get in sync and match their answers?!#Omiya Michinoko Nursery School #Nursery school Nursery teacher / Childcare worker Childcare teacher 3-letter quiz Align our feelings Let's get excited! #WakuWaku Kousaikai

Let’s align our feelings and find the answer together! Here’s an idea for a three-letter quiz.

Quizzes are often individual competitions, but the appeal of this idea is collaborating with friends to answer.

For example, a question like “What comes to mind when you think of something sweet?” might be asked.

What answer would you think of? Each person writes one letter on a piece of paper, and when your answers match, it feels like your bond grows stronger.

Give it a try at your next event! It’s also great to share hints with each other.

What is this picture book?

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.
