Spring Riddles
When spring comes, animals wake from hibernation and plants grow lively new shoots—there are so many things you only see in that season.
Riddles packed with these spring-only elements are a great way to feel the arrival of spring! They’re especially handy when you’ve grown tired of the usual riddles.
By trying these riddles, you might start noticing signs of spring in the everyday scenery outside that you’d normally overlook.
Solve these riddles and take in the changing of the seasons.
Shell Quiz
Spring is often called the season of shellfish, as many varieties come into their prime.
Shellfish harvested at their peak are said to be the plumpest and most delicious of the year.
Let’s deepen our knowledge of seasonal foods with a quiz themed around shellfish.
Well-known spring shellfish include asari clams, a classic ingredient in miso soup, and whelks, which are delicious as sashimi.
You may also encounter shellfish you’ve never heard of before, and turning them into quiz questions is a great way to learn something new.
Food topics are easy for groups to get excited about, making this perfect for encouraging communication among participants!
Wild Edible Plants Quiz
This quiz is perfect for people who love cooking or mountain hiking.
Let’s learn about the flavors of spring through a wild edible plants quiz.
These mountain vegetables are delicious as tempura or ohitashi, and are sometimes used in traditional dishes like nanakusa-gayu (seven-herb rice porridge).
Some of you might even dream of harvesting wild plants and eating them.
To safely enjoy wild edibles, however, you need knowledge—mistakenly eating something toxic can be dangerous.
By having fun and expanding your knowledge through this quiz, you might even discover that some of the plants growing along the way home from day service to your house are actually edible.
Spring Flavors Quiz
Every season has its own seasonal ingredients, right? Among older adults, there are likely many who enjoy cooking and gourmet food.
A perfect quiz for such times is a tricky kanji quiz themed around the flavors of spring.
Even if you know the names, you’ll encounter all kinds of kanji—some you may be seeing for the first time, and others that are just impossible to read.
Since the theme is spring flavors, conversations often take off with comments like “That’s so tasty!” It’s a quiz that lets you do a brain workout while warming your heart with talk of delicious foods.
Seasonal Ingredients Quiz
This is a quiz about learning the seasonality of ingredients—foods that taste especially good in spring or in March.
Precisely because we live in a time when many ingredients are available year-round, let’s use this quiz to cultivate gratitude and affection for our food.
You could ask whether an ingredient is in season in March, or make it a rearrangement puzzle using seasonal ingredients as hints—both formats sound fun.
With foods we eat without much thought, we often miss their peak season.
How about inviting people to enjoy those discoveries?

March Sorting Quiz
Let’s play a brain-teasing word association and anagram quiz game.
It’s a fun activity that also works as brain training for seniors.
Decide on a theme, prepare several questions within that theme, and present them as a quiz.
For example, if the theme is “spring,” it would be fun to choose words like “Hinamatsuri” (Doll Festival), “ohanami” (flower viewing), or “sotsugyōshiki” (graduation ceremony).
If you take a word like “Hinamatsuri” and scramble its letters—such as turning it into something like “hitsunamari”—it becomes hard to recognize at first glance.
It’s an enjoyable game that anyone can join casually, so you can play it together with friends and groups.
