Who am I? Quiz

The curiosity that blooms when children are learning lots of words and things is probably an innate trait.
Let’s turn that curiosity and the feeling of “I want to know!” into a fun game.
The “Who am I? Quiz” is a game where you reach the answer using small, gradually revealed clues.
For example, you might give hints that circle around the answer, like “I am red,” “I am food,” and “I’m not big,” to lead the child to the answer: a strawberry.
Start with familiar categories like animals and foods.
It might be fun to make it a daily habit, like doing three questions every morning!
Hat Quiz
Uniforms and caps are like symbols that represent professions.
It’s very important to learn this from a young age.
Here, we present a quiz where you guess the occupation from the hat or headgear.
Some are quite challenging because the hats look very similar.
Adults who get nervous around security guards thinking they’re police officers might not get it either.
Sea Creatures Quiz

Many families go to the aquarium in summer, don’t they? The ocean is full of creatures that fascinate children, like penguins, sea otters, dolphins, and crabs.
Some parents may have been bombarded with questions like “What’s this?” when they visited.
In that case, why not try a sea creature quiz? You could ask something like “Which one is the dolphin?” or turn the animals’ habits into quiz questions.
The kids are sure to love it.
Silhouette Quiz

Shadow puppet shows are also broadcast on NHK television, aren’t they? Precisely because there’s no color—because it’s black and white—it draws you in more and more.
How about using that shadow-theater concept for a “food silhouette quiz”? Just draw large shapes like an apple or ramen on black construction paper and cut them out along the lines—prep done.
If you use black paper to make the questions, you won’t need to darken the room like you would for shadow theater.
With a bit of creativity, it could even work for a class presentation.
Once you’re used to food items, try an animals or vehicles version too!
In conclusion
We’ve introduced a variety of quizzes! Did you find any that the kids might love? They were all activities that are fun to take part in and to watch. Try finding quizzes that are just right for the children’s ages and stages of development and enjoy them together. It’s also fun—and highly recommended—to make it a team competition so friends can think together, or to have everyone solve quizzes the kids came up with themselves. Enjoy a fun time doing quizzes with the children!
