We’re out of blue crayons and only have green ones. What should we do to draw blue?
See the answer
Write “blue” using a green crayon
Since we want to draw “blue,” it’s fine to use crayons of other colors. If you actually draw while explaining, it will be easier for the children to understand.
A big hole opened up in the house’s roof. But the inside of the room didn’t get wet. Why is that?
See the answer
Because it’s not raining.
The problem doesn’t mention the weather that day. It might actually be a question that becomes harder for people with vivid imaginations.
The answer is simple! What month and what day is it today?
See the answer
easy
Since it starts by saying “The answer is simple,” that itself is the answer. Some children might not be satisfied with that, though.
There are a lot of fish in the can. But the fish seem to be alive. Why is that?
See the answer
It's a 'kan,' but since it's an aquarium, it's 'kan' as in 'suizokukan.'
We tend to picture canned fish, but at an aquarium there are lots of live fish swimming around, right?
Why is it that I don’t get tired even though I’ve been spinning around the whole time?
See the answer
Because it's a clock.
Even though the clock hands keep turning, they never get tired, do they? It might help to give a hint like, “It’s inside the room.”
There is a person who jumped from a tall building. They weren’t injured. Why is that?
See the answer
Because (someone) jumped from the first floor of the building.
When you hear “a tall building,” you can’t help but think they must have jumped from the very top, right? It’s a question that even adults easily get tripped up by.
There’s a room you can get out of even though it has no exit. Why is that?
See the answer
Because you can exit from the entrance.
Even if there’s no exit, there must be the entrance you used to come into the room. You can leave through that.
