Where did Halloween originate as a festival?
- Japan
- India
- Ireland
See the answer
Ireland
Halloween, said to have originated in Ireland, is a festival that celebrates the autumn harvest. It is said that children walking around town receiving candy on Halloween imitates the custom of going around to receive food prepared for the festival.
There is also an event in Japan similar to Halloween. Which of the following is it?
- New Year (Japanese New Year)
- Obon (the Japanese Buddhist Festival of the Dead)
- New Year's Eve
See the answer
Obon (the Japanese Buddhist Festival of the Dead)
A common point between Halloween and Obon is the belief that the souls of the dead return to this world. However, there’s a slight difference: it’s said that bad spirits also come on Halloween, whereas in Japan’s Obon, only one’s ancestors are believed to return.
A 35-question Halloween quiz
Let’s use a quiz to see how much you know about Halloween! There are a total of 35 questions.
Even if you have no idea what the answer is, you can choose from three options, so one of the fun parts is being able to learn as you take the quiz.
There’s a time limit, but if many children want a bit more time to think, it’s a good idea to pause the video as they go.
Beyond just dressing up and getting candy, it would be great if they develop interest in the world and in the event itself by learning about its origins and meaning.
Halloween Quiz That Even Babies Can Enjoy!
Let’s look for the Halloween friends peeking out and learn their names! When you think of Halloween, there are all kinds of ghosts and motifs, right? This time, here’s an idea to learn the names of those Halloween friends in a quiz format.
It’s a quiz that children from infant to preschool classes can enjoy.
They might also react to the Halloween decorations at school or at home and learn the names! It seems like a great opportunity to deepen children’s learning.
Five differences puzzle
Let’s compare two Halloween-themed illustrations of “Nigirinjer” and find the differences.
It seems there are five differences between the two images.
Can you find them all within the 120-second time limit? Spot-the-difference puzzles that foster concentration and observation also seem to help develop children’s flashes of inspiration.
Feel free to adjust the time limit—shorter or longer—according to the age of the child taking on the challenge.
Guess the Pumpkin’s Weight Quiz
Let’s focus on weight! In everyday life, do you ever have chances to play games that focus only on weight? This time, in the spirit of Halloween, let’s join a game where you guess the weight of a pumpkin.
It could be a hit with a preschool class.
When hosting the game, it’s a good idea to place various objects with their weights labeled as hints.
From there, children may develop the ability to reason, like, “It’s heavier than ○○, so maybe it’s about this much!” For children who find writing numbers difficult, try having them write together with a teacher or guardian.

Spot the differences for Halloween
Spot-the-difference is a game where you compare two pictures and find the parts that are different.
This time there’s a 30-second time limit, so you might feel nervous and rushed.
However, the key to spot-the-difference is to take your time and compare the fine details carefully.
Can you find all five differences? It’s great for classes or groups, but working in a small team of about two to three people can help you cooperate and figure out the answers together.
Take this opportunity to give it a try!
