Popular quizzes at daycares and kindergartens. Perfect ideas for performances/activities.

Kids love quizzes!

When you give them a quiz, they go “Hmm…” and think hard, and the moment they figure out the answer, their eyes light up and they give you the happiest smile.

Quizzes nurture thinking and imagination, and they can spark interest and curiosity in all kinds of things.

You’ll definitely want to include lots of them.

In this article, we’ll introduce quizzes recommended for kindergartens and nursery schools!

From ones you solve in your head to those you enjoy with all five senses—seeing, hearing, touching—these are all activities that spark children’s curiosity.

If you incorporate themes kids love—like animals, fruit, vehicles, or popular characters—it gets even more exciting.

Be sure to use them during free play time or as part of a fun event, and enjoy them together!

Vegetable Quiz

It’s a quiz where images of various vegetables appear and you’re asked, “Which one is XX?” You choose the correct one from the images and answer.

It’s a fun way to learn vegetable names together while playing.

There are a total of five questions.

Hiragana Rearrangement Quiz

Riddle Quiz for Kids (up to Lower Elementary Grades)
Hiragana Rearrangement Quiz

A game that collects quizzes and riddles that can be answered with simple hiragana words.

Questions include things like, “What kind of bump appears when you’re happy?” and “What food do dads dislike?” Even problems that might seem tough for adults could inspire kids to use their imagination and come up with wildly unexpected answers.

Depending on the responses, it can also be a chance to learn how children usually think about things, which could be educational for adults too.

When doing the quizzes and riddles, teachers taking on unique character roles will likely make the atmosphere even more lively.

Balloon Spin Quiz

[Paper Puppet Show] Taught by a Nursery Teacher! Let’s Sing Together: The Mysterious Balloon 🎈
Balloon Spin Quiz

Balloon Color Spin Quiz: Guess foods or animals that are the same color as the balloon! On the back of each balloon, there’s an illustration of a food (or similar) in the matching color.

Spin the balloon quickly or flash the back for a moment and have players guess what’s drawn there.

For children who are in the middle of learning color names, connecting them to favorite foods might help them remember more smoothly.

After the game, it could be fun to draw pictures using the colors they’ve learned.

Animal Quiz at the Magic Theater

[Nursery/Kindergarten] Magic Theater 🎩✨ Animal Quiz! [Hands-on & How to Make — Now Easier to Understand!]
Animal Quiz at the Magic Theater

For children, a magic theater where pictures appear as if by magic makes an animal silhouette quiz really fun and sure to capture the hearts of the kindergarteners.

With a bear-shaped silhouette, you can even represent a panda, a tiger, or a frog, which really sparks their imagination.

The crafting and drawing parts might be a bit of work, but imagine the children’s happy faces and push through! I’m sure you’ll have a wonderful time!

Animal Sound Quiz

Can You Guess the Animal Sounds? | Educational Video for Kids
Animal Sound Quiz

Here’s the familiar animal sound quiz.

There are lots of animals, but in this quiz you listen only to the sounds and guess which animal it is.

The teacher can do impressions, or you can prepare actual animal sounds for the kids to answer—either works well.

If you make it a multiple-choice quiz and mix in some slightly tricky animal calls, it will spark their curiosity and make for an even better experience! It’s also perfect as prep before a field trip or a visit from a mobile petting zoo.

Fruit Cross-Section Quiz

[Fruit Cross-Section Quiz] ☆An animated video babies and toddlers will love☆ What fruit is this? Guess the fruit from its cut surface!
Fruit Cross-Section Quiz

To prevent kids from choking, we often serve their food cut into small pieces when they’re little, right? How about turning those cut surfaces into a quiz? We’ll call it the “Fruit Cross-Section Quiz.” Even with the same apple, slicing it horizontally versus vertically gives a very different impression.

A lengthwise cut of a banana might feel surprisingly fresh too, since you don’t usually see it.

Even familiar fruits like strawberries and mandarins can be hard to recognize once they’re cut.

Once you’ve covered the popular ones, try moving on to more unusual fruits like starfruit and passion fruit!

Juice Flavor Guessing Quiz

Let's guess blindfolded! Juice flavor guessing game!
Juice Flavor Guessing Quiz

Have you ever had the surprising experience of taking a sip of what you thought was barley tea, only to find out it was somen dipping sauce? There are probably more things than we realize—like juice with no real fruit or shaved ice syrup—that we judge by appearance and imagine the taste before eating or drinking.

This is a game where you guess what a beverage is while blindfolded.

I have a feeling it’ll be trickier than expected and really liven things up.
