[Early Childhood Education] Learn with the kids! A quiz about food

Nursery Teacher Mom Writertsukada moe
After working for five years at an after-school childcare club and three years at a nursery school, I began working as a freelance writer. I’m a mother of two children. Inspired by playing the flute in the school wind ensemble in elementary school, I joined a jazz club at university. I’ve also incorporated ukulele and piano performance into childcare. Playing, laughing, feeling sad, feeling frustrated—through all kinds of experiences, I want children to grow.

A variety of ingredients are used in nursery school lunches and snacks.

We want children to take an interest in food and try many different things, don’t we?

I think food education is a theme that every school works on.

It would be great if children could enjoy learning.

So this time, we’ve put together a collection of quizzes about food.

Learning about the foods they eat every day will make mealtime even more fun.

Try answering the quizzes together with the teacher and the children and have a great time!

[Childcare] Learn with the kids! Food quiz (11–20)

I wonder what kind of vegetables they are?

Early learning from 0 years old—Silhouette Quiz 1: Vegetables & Fruits. Kids’ quiz: Learn food names by their silhouettes! Vegetables and fruits.

I wonder what kind of vegetables they are?

Let’s learn the names and shapes of vegetables and fruits! Here are some ideas for “What’s this veggie?” We often see vegetables and fruits after they’ve been cooked, but how about learning their names and shapes through a quiz? This is a fun idea even for infant classes, so it’s highly recommended! At first, say the silhouette and the name together out loud.

Once they get used to it, raise the difficulty by pairing the silhouette with the first letter, etc.

This makes it easier for children to get familiar with them.

Be sure to try incorporating it into your activities!

What kind of fruit is it?

[Silhouette Quiz!!] Silhouette quiz of various fruits ⭐️ / Educational animation / Joy, picture book, quiz, learn / Educational video for children around ages 2, 3, 4, and 5 / animation

What kind of fruit is it?

Fruits are playing hide-and-seek in black silhouettes! Let me share an idea called “What fruit could it be?” When it comes to fruits familiar to children, bananas, apples, mandarins, and strawberries come to mind.

Since many children eat fruit after it’s been cut, the silhouette of the whole fruit might look different from what they imagine! For infants trying a silhouette quiz for the first time, it’s helpful to give a hint by telling them the first letter.

Please try incorporating this into your activities.
