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.

Creatures that appear in picture books and stories, as well as those we encounter outdoors, feel very familiar to children, don’t they?

Many children probably know what characteristics they have.

This time, we’re introducing animal quizzes that even preschoolers can answer.

Some questions might spark instant answers, while others may make them think hard.

It will be fun to see how the children react.

Each quiz highlights an animal’s characteristics, so it can be a springboard for learning, too.

Be sure to try them during small breaks in your childcare routine.

What kind of dinosaur is this?

Learn while playing with a quiz! Let me share an idea for “Which dinosaur is this?” When it comes to dinosaurs, there are huge ones and small ones, and some are carnivores while others are herbivores.

Many have distinctive silhouettes.

Let’s turn the dinosaurs that kids admire into a silhouette quiz! If you share fun facts about each dinosaur’s traits during the quiz, it becomes a great learning opportunity.

Let’s memorize the silhouettes and features of various dinosaurs and aim to become the dinosaur experts of the class!

In conclusion

We introduced animal quizzes you can enjoy with children.

Even for animals you know from picture books or encyclopedias, you might not recognize them just from their characteristics.

Hopefully, the quizzes will be a chance to learn about animals’ features and habits.

Teachers and children should try creating their own original quizzes, too.
