Have fun in childcare! Today’s recommended quizzes and riddles (21–30)
Which one has more?
Let’s compare numbers with illustrations! Here are some ideas for “Which one has more?”—a fun quiz that builds number-comparison skills.
By looking at two illustrations and deciding which has more, children will naturally find it easier to grasp number concepts.
The way to answer is simple and clear—just say, “This one has more!”—so kids can enjoy playing it over and over.
Through the quiz, their concentration and observation skills will also improve.
It’s sure to be a fun first step into learning numbers for children!
What is the snack that I like?
Kids love snacks, don’t they? So let’s turn our favorite snacks into a quiz! That said, there are so many kinds of snacks—savory chips, traditional Japanese sweets, fruit, sweet breads—people think of different things when they hear “snack.” Because of that, even if you ask a quiz question, it might be hard to get the right answer right away.
In that case, give hints step by step, like the color or shape.
I’m sure that back-and-forth will be fun too!
What food do I dislike?
What would you say are foods that kids don’t like? Many might answer bitter vegetables like green peppers or spinach.
But while you might know what your friends like, you might not really know what they don’t like.
So try turning it into a “me quiz”: present your least favorite foods and have everyone guess! You might find others who dislike the same things and bond over it, or talk about ways to overcome those dislikes.
If you dislike something unexpected, people may ask, “Why don’t you like it?”—which becomes a chance for them to get to know you better!
What month was I born?
Even if children know which month they were born in, they don’t usually know their friends’ birth months.
So let’s turn it into a quiz where they guess each other’s birth month.
Someone might remember from looking at birthday parties or birthday charts.
It could also be fun to think about how to give hints together with the teacher.
Plus, children who share the same birth month might feel closer to each other.
By learning about many friends’ birth months, their interest in their friends will grow.
Three bowls of soup, two glasses of juice, three shakes, and two bowls of ramen. How many in total?
See the answer
I'm full.
Using pictures to explain things makes it easier to convey the number and amount of items. It’s a problem that makes you want to add and count without thinking.
What did you have for breakfast today?
Some of you might be curious about what other kids had for breakfast.
The theme of this quiz is: What did you have for breakfast today? In addition to staple foods like bread or rice, it could be fun to guess, in order, everything the child ate or drank in the morning—such as rolled omelets, sausages, fruit, and more.
If you first guess the staple food and then the side dishes, everyone might end up learning a lot about different foods.
This quiz is also great for food education, so it comes highly recommended.
Animal Gesture Quiz
Capture the features and act them out! Here’s an idea for an animal gesture quiz.
It’s a unique game where you communicate answers using only movement—no words allowed! Think, “How does this animal walk?” and use your body to express it, conveying the animal’s traits without speaking.
Humorous gestures like a kangaroo’s hopping or a turtle’s slow shuffle are sure to fill the room with laughter! By remembering each animal’s characteristics, this fun idea lets you learn while playing through the quiz.
