Show them the prompt and have them guess what it looks like.
A stuffed animal works well as the prompt, too.
With the call, “What do you think this is?”, the children will think hard and give lots of answers.
Once many answers are out, reveal the correct answer.
Knowing the answer will likely make the children even more excited.
There is a correct answer, but it’s also fine to treat all of their answers as correct.
Let’s use the quiz to bring out the children’s rich imaginative thinking.

How closely do you pay attention to your favorite friends? Here are some ideas for a “Whose Belongings Is This?” quiz.
The time children spend with their friends is an irreplaceable treasure.
Try this quiz to deepen the bonds between friends even more.
It’s a fun idea that strengthens friendships.
By recognizing each other’s belongings, you’ll test observation skills and closeness—and guaranteed, it will spark conversation.
Expanding the quiz’s scope or adding hints will make it even more exciting.
It can also be a great opportunity to boost communication at a farewell party.
Sketchbook Quiz
Let’s flip through a few pages and take a peek! Here are some sketchbook quiz ideas.
They’re fun prompts that spark kids’ imaginations based on the visible clues.
Use the drawings and colors in the sketchbook as hints and give the quiz a try! Asking “What is it?” or “I wonder what this could be?” will surely deepen communication with friends and classmates.
Quizzes that incorporate visual elements are memorable and exciting.
Give them a try!
The park’s true-or-false quiz
A true-or-false quiz about memories from life at the kindergarten is perfect for a graduation party, isn’t it? The children, parents, and teachers can all get excited together and grow even closer.
You might even discover unexpected sides of the teachers, making for a really fun time.
If you hand out small sheets of paper with circles and Xs drawn on them to use when answering, it should make the event easier to run.
It also sounds fun to have parents and teachers take turns asking the quiz questions.
Red Light, Green Light
It could be fun to play a classic traditional game, Daruma-san ga koronda! You don’t need any special materials, and as long as you have a bit of space to move around, you can even play indoors.
The teacher can be ‘it,’ or you could have a parent join in.
In the standard version, the rule is to approach and tag ‘it’ while their eyes are closed.
But it might be interesting to add a twist and make a special rule like, “Do something while ‘it’ has their eyes closed.”
Drawing Quiz
The drawing quiz is a game where you draw a picture based on a prompt in a short amount of time and have others guess what it is.
Not only does it test your drawing skills, but the key is how well you can express the prompt through your illustration.
You can also compete using a points system or in teams, making it a perfect activity for a farewell party with a large group.
Choosing prompts related to the farewell theme is likely to make it even more exciting!
Candy speed-eating game
A super simple game that candy-loving kids will enjoy: the Candy Speed-Eating Game! Prepare some snacks and have a showdown with about 5 to 8 players.
Naturally, the first child to finish eating wins! Have participants line up in a row to compete.
If you’re playing while seated, try making the result easy to recognize—like having players raise their hand the moment they finish.
Any kind of snack is fine, but stick-shaped ones like Pocky or fu-gashi are easy to eat and are recommended!
