Fun quizzes for elementary school kids: a collection of questions everyone can enjoy together

Cipher Quiz

[Cipher Quiz] Solving it within the thinking time is extremely difficult! It’s a race against the clock!

Would you like to try a cipher quiz that puts your creativity to the test? There are many types of cipher quizzes, but the most common kind involves converting illustrations into words.

It could be fun to use this type of quiz to make a treasure map and let kids go on a treasure hunt.

When creating your ciphers, try adapting ideas from YouTube or websites.

You could also liven things up by preparing ciphers themed around your local area, school, or the kids’ favorite anime.

Interesting math problem

[Arithmetic Olympiad] Problems that smart elementary school students are solving! Can you solve them? (Logic Puzzle / Math Quiz) brain plus*

In the reference book section at bookstores, I often see math books that don’t focus solely on numbers, like “Japanese-Style Arithmetic” or “Reading-Based Math Problems.” I’ve also heard that Tetsuya Miyamoto’s “Puzzles That Develop Math and Language Skills at the Same Time” sells very well.

How about getting excited with those language-rich ‘fun math problems’? People who are strong in language arts might solve them faster.

For example, in a problem where you have to determine the rankings of four people, you infer the order from each runner’s lines, such as: “A: I wasn’t first,” “D: There were two people ahead of me,” “C: I lost to B,” and so on.

They make for solid study too, so it’s great to solve and enjoy them during math class!

IQ Quiz

[IQ Puzzle] Solved by a 3rd grader in 9 seconds!? If you solve it, your IQ is 140+!? The correct answer will be revealed in 100 seconds.

IQ is a numerical value that indicates a person’s level of intelligence.

You often hear it used as an index of difficulty on quiz shows, like “a problem equivalent to IQ 100.” The more you take on these IQ-style quizzes, the more flexible your thinking becomes, so they’re highly recommended as brain training.

If children enjoy brain training from elementary school age, they’ll grow up to be adults who like thinking things through for themselves! There’s a wide variety to enjoy, from puzzles where you move matchsticks to quizzes that ask you to find the odd one out among shapes.

Puzzle Quiz

[Puzzle] Do elementary schoolers solve it faster? A math riddle! [Question 48]

Have you heard of “escape games”? They’re a type of adventure game where you enjoy finding a way out of a room or building.

One of the key elements in escape games is the puzzle quizzes placed on each floor.

On rainy days when you can’t go outside, why not have fun with some puzzle-solving games? For example: “Red is 16, blue is 15, so what is yellow?” The answer is 7.

This uses a system where Japanese syllables are mapped to numbers (a=1, i=2, u=3, e=4, o=5), turning the 50-sound syllabary into numbers for the quiz.

Making your own original quizzes can be tough, but that challenge might gradually become fun! You might even get smarter while coming up with them!

Logo Quiz

Test your memory! A quiz to guess the correct logo

This is a quiz that focuses on logo marks for a variety of products and services, starting with app icons.

It tests whether you regularly observe logos and whether you can accurately recall their exact shapes and colors.

Since logos display product or service names, a recommended format is to present two versions side by side and have participants choose which one is correct.

Some logos have changed over the years, so incorporating those variations can increase the difficulty.

You could also spotlight a single letter within a logo or limit the differences to small details, which would make for an interesting challenge.

Silhouette Quiz

[Silhouette Quiz: 15 Questions] Brain training for seniors! Shadow pictures of foods, animals, and more (with trick questions) #1

The silhouette quiz that makes kids’ quiz time even more fun has the charm of finding answers based on appearance alone.

For example, you can use your imagination to guess the shapes of anime characters or world-famous buildings.

Even first-time players can quickly grasp the rules, so both children and adults can solve them together, and its simplicity makes it perfect for group activities.

In addition, quizzes presented in videos come with sound effects and visual hints, making the joy of getting the right answer even greater.

This silhouette quiz nurtures not only knowledge but also imagination, and it’s an intellectually engaging game that people can enjoy at any age.

Creativity Quiz

Challenge the limits of your imagination! Riddle quiz!

We all have preconceptions, right? Like, if you see a creature moving through water at incredible speed, you think, “It must be a fish!” But if you look closely, it might actually be a bird chasing a fish.

Let’s have fun testing that kind of flexible thinking with quizzes! There are lots of interesting puzzles online, so why not suggest to your teacher that everyone enjoy them together during technology/home economics class? For example: “You have 300 yen.

If you buy something that costs 170 yen, how much change will you get?” → The answer is 30 yen, because you’d pay 200 yen for a 170-yen item.

It’s easy to blurt out 130 yen by mistake.

It could also be fun to enjoy these with friends at the library after school.
