3-letter quiz
@omiyamichinoko Three-letter quiz! Will the teachers be able to get in sync and match their answers?!#Omiya Michinoko Nursery School#Nursery schoolNursery teacher / Childcare workerChildcare teacher3-letter quizAlign our feelingsLet's get excited! #WakuWakuKousaikai

Let’s align our feelings and find the answer together! Here’s an idea for a three-letter quiz.
Quizzes are often individual competitions, but the appeal of this idea is collaborating with friends to answer.
For example, a question like “What comes to mind when you think of something sweet?” might be asked.
What answer would you think of? Each person writes one letter on a piece of paper, and when your answers match, it feels like your bond grows stronger.
Give it a try at your next event! It’s also great to share hints with each other.
The answer formed by stacking three pictures!
@omiyamichinoko The answer is a stack of three pictures!Birthday partyHappy BirthdayDrawing QuizNursery teacher / Childcare workerBirthday#BirthdayPartyPerformance#Omiya Michinoko Nursery School#Chiikawa
♪ Pajama Parties Song – Pajama Parties
Stimulate your imagination! This is a quiz where you stack three pictures.
You draw illustrations on transparent sheets like vinyl, and when you layer them, a single answer appears.
For example, the first sheet has the outline, the second has the eyes and mouth, and the third has the ears—stack them, and an animal emerges.
You can also create quizzes with vehicles, buildings, and many other themes.
If you can’t find the ideal transparent sheets, using clear ziplock bags is a good substitute.
The opening can act as a handle, making them easy to use.

How about a playful twist on a classic quiz: a trick quiz? It’s especially great for getting preschoolers excited! In this quiz, you show a part of an animal or an object and have them guess what it is—but there’s a sneaky twist.
For example, you might show two long shapes that look like rabbit ears, and while the kids shout “Rabbit!”, when you reveal the hidden part, the correct answer is actually a flower—the two long shapes were parts of the petals.
It’s a slightly mischievous quiz.
Kids are so adaptable that they’ll quickly catch on to the idea and start guessing right away!
What does this look like?
@omiyamichinoko Let's think outside the box! What does this look like? I suddenly gave the teachers a prompt to try!#Omiya Michinoko Nursery School#Nursery schoolNursery teacher / Childcare workerNursery school teacherTranslationChildcare studentFun workplace

Show them the prompt and have them guess what it looks like.
A stuffed animal works well as the prompt, too.
With the call, “What do you think this is?”, the children will think hard and give lots of answers.
Once many answers are out, reveal the correct answer.
Knowing the answer will likely make the children even more excited.
There is a correct answer, but it’s also fine to treat all of their answers as correct.
Let’s use the quiz to bring out the children’s rich imaginative thinking.
Egg Quiz
https://www.tiktok.com/@popon_shop/video/7423011226772409608What comes out of the egg…? Here’s a fun egg quiz that gets kids thinking! Make eggs out of construction paper or nonwoven fabric, and have the children imagine what kind of baby will hatch from inside.
Plain white shells can be hard to guess, so try expressing the baby’s characteristics on the shell itself.
For example, if it’s a baby zebra, give the shell stripes; if it’s a ladybug, make it red with black polka dots—hide clues on the shell.
Once everyone gets the hang of it, let the kids come up with ideas too, and you’ll end up with lots of clever egg shells to match each baby!
