Ideas for Childcare Quizzes to Enjoy in January

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.

This time, we’re bringing you a fun quiz themed around January.

When you think of January, the big event is New Year’s, right?

From kagami mochi and omikuji to osechi cuisine, there are probably lots of things you’ve heard of but don’t fully know.

Why not learn while having fun by trying a quiz on them?

We’ve also included plenty of quizzes related to January beyond New Year’s, so be sure to give them a try!

By the time you’ve finished all the questions, you’ll surely know more about January than anyone else!

What are the things you should not do on New Year’s Day or during the New Year holiday?

Cleaning

Even if you clean every day, please take a break on New Year’s Day. They say that if you clean, you might chase away good fortune along with the trash. So do a thorough cleaning at the end of the year, take a break from your usual cleaning during the New Year holidays, and relax!

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.
