A collection of word-association game questions that will excite elementary school students! Fun quizzes that also serve as brain exercises (1–10)
bamboo grass / tanzaku (paper strips for wishes) / wish / somen (thin wheat noodles)
See the answer
Tanabata
The answer derived from these keywords is the traditional event held on July 7th, Tanabata. We arrive at this answer because, during Tanabata, people decorate bamboo branches with tanzaku (strips of paper) on which they write their wishes, and they also eat somen noodles as a representation of the Milky Way, the setting of the Tanabata story.
February / heart / chocolate / the person I like
See the answer
Valentine
The word associated with each keyword is “Valentine.” Valentine’s Day is an event in February, and as it approaches, hearts and chocolates start to stand out in stores. Also, since those chocolates are meant to convey your feelings to someone you like, they naturally bring Valentine’s Day to mind.
Night / gunpowder / spark(s) / smoke
See the answer
fireworks
If you’re thinking of something held at night that uses gunpowder to create sparks and smoke, the answer is fireworks. It’s said to have started with launches during the Obon season to calm the spirits of ancestors. Okuribi bonfires and Shōryō-nagashi are also part of the Obon period, aren’t they? Fireworks are often seen at summer festivals, but in recent years displays have been held nationwide in every season. Winter fireworks have their own special charm, too.
school supplies / square / elementary school student / worn on the back
See the answer
randoseru (Japanese elementary school backpack)
The answer to this quiz is “randoseru.” A randoseru is a sturdy, box-shaped bag used by Japanese elementary school students when they go to school. It is worn on the back, and it’s a school item used to carry learning materials such as textbooks and notebooks. Connecting these characteristics leads you to think of a randoseru.
March / cherry blossoms / chorus / farewell
See the answer
graduation ceremony
The keywords March, cherry blossoms, chorus, and farewell are often seen in school graduation ceremonies. At graduation, everyone sings together and bids a heartfelt goodbye. I wonder if the principal’s generation sings Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi’s “Kanpai”? The graduation song is the last song everyone practices together—just thinking about it brings me to tears. What kind of song is sung at your school?
