Popular quizzes at daycare and kindergartens: perfect ideas for performances (21–30)
Halloween Silhouette Quiz
On Halloween, there’s a culture of dressing up in costumes and decorating rooms—but can you name all the different kinds of ghosts and monsters? For children in preschool classes, it might be easy to answer when looking at illustrations.
But what happens if you turn it into a silhouette quiz? You might find kids who recognize it but can’t recall the name, or ones who puzzle over what shape it is.
It would be great to give hints or share the first letter while keeping the quiz fun and lighthearted.
A 35-question Halloween quiz
Let’s use a quiz to see how much you know about Halloween! There are a total of 35 questions.
Even if you have no idea what the answer is, you can choose from three options, so one of the fun parts is being able to learn as you take the quiz.
There’s a time limit, but if many children want a bit more time to think, it’s a good idea to pause the video as they go.
Beyond just dressing up and getting candy, it would be great if they develop interest in the world and in the event itself by learning about its origins and meaning.

It requires concentration, so the children will likely be engrossed as they participate.
The time limit is 30 seconds.

Drawing quizzes are exciting and imaginative, and they’re a fun activity everyone can enjoy—even little kids can join in.
Each person draws a part of the target object for the quiz on their own sheet.
Using transparent film is recommended, because you can overlay the pieces at the end and clearly see the correct answer.
The quizmaster should choose a theme that the other participants won’t know ahead of time.
Themes popular with children—like animals, characters, food, or vehicles—are great for making the quiz lively and engaging.
Fruit Silhouette Quiz
A quiz using fruit silhouettes is a wonderful game that tickles children’s curiosity.
When you show familiar fruits like apples and bananas as shadow pictures, they’ll excitedly think, “What could this be?” If you include seasonal fruits, they can also learn about what’s in season.
It’s fun for everyone to chat while thinking together: “What shape is it?” “What are its features?” Through the quiz, their imagination and powers of observation will naturally grow.
It’s also perfect as an activity for a party or special event.
What color will it be?
Let’s answer what color you’ll get when you mix paints! Here are some ideas for guessing what color it will become.
These activities help older kindergarteners learn while imagining how colors change.
They may already know some combinations, like red and blue making purple, or yellow and blue making green.
As a variation, don’t just mix colors—try painting pictures with the colors you create, or doing crafts that put the color combinations to practical use.
It also sounds fun to experiment by mixing different amounts, or by adding materials other than paint to explore how the colors change!
