10 years as a kindergarten teacher / elementary school teacher / junior and senior high school teacher / childminderkepiko
Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music, Faculty of Music (now: Department of Music Culture and Education, Early Childhood Music Education major). In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher. After graduating from university, I worked as a kindergarten teacher for 10 years and as an after-school childcare instructor for 7 years, then took a position as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I engaged in activities that introduced Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational activities, working with many children. Later, through freelance writing, planning, and editing at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and sharing. Drawing on the perspective cultivated in the field of education and my experience as an editor, I provide practical information with an emphasis on both input and output, mainly in areas related to music and children. My hobbies include instruments, singing, handicrafts, toys, drawing, traditional games, the outdoors, and books. My special skill is spinning-top tricks.

Lively and curious lower-elementary school children are still in the process of discovering the world and are interested in all sorts of things.

They also love playing with friends, and this is a time when doing fun things together is especially enjoyable.

So here, we’re introducing quizzes for elementary school kids that lower graders can enjoy while learning.

Please use this as a guide to help nurture the seeds of their curiosity!

The grandson played with a ball with his grandpa. What did they do?

I tried answering trick questions for elementary schoolers #TrickQuiz #shorts

The grandson played with a ball with his grandpa. What did they do?

The key to solving this puzzle is to think of a different way to say “ojīchan” (grandpa).

So, what word could you replace “ojīchan” with? If something immediately comes to mind, try connecting that word to a scene where he’s playing with his grandchild using a ball.

If you do that, the answer should naturally reveal itself.

If you know lots of ball games, you might also try thinking from the types of ball games.

The answer is a fairly mainstream ball sport, so you might have an “aha!” moment that leads you to the correct answer.
