[Childcare] Enjoy a ranking quiz! Introducing two types of quizzes
A ranking quiz where you guess who’s in 1st or 2nd place.
That kind of content can be a bit tricky for children in nursery or kindergarten.
But with a little creativity, you can enjoy ranking quizzes at school too.
This time, we’ll share two types of sample quizzes: ones with clear, factual answers, and ones related to your class, teachers, and the school.
You want to enjoy quizzes with the children but can’t come up with ideas…
If that sounds like you, teacher, please use this as a reference.
Quizzes might become a new favorite activity for the children.
