Quiz for Elementary Schoolers: Easy! Fun! Question Collection (31–40)

What kind of neck comes out of a mouth?

A neck coming out of your mouth…

It sounds a bit scary if you imagine it, but don’t worry—it’s just a riddle, not a scary story.

With that in mind, let’s solve it! The key to this puzzle is to convert the keyword “首” (kubi, neck) into hiragana and think of it that way.

Then, associate things that include “kubi” which come out of the mouth.

Everyone has put this out of their mouth at least once.

It’s an easy answer, so if you get the hint, you’ll solve it right away.

The answer is “akubi” (a yawn)!

What gets smaller the bigger it gets?

The bigger it gets, the smaller it becomes… What does that even mean? you might wonder.

“Getting bigger” and “getting smaller” are opposites, and something that gets bigger doesn’t become smaller.

What we need to consider when solving this riddle is how to interpret “bigger.” In this puzzle, “bigger” means “growing.” When you grow, isn’t there something that becomes smaller? You probably experience it often when the seasons change.

The answer is clothes! As your body grows and gets bigger, the clothes you wore last year become too small and no longer fit.

What part of speech is “strawberry”?

If you’re asked what language “strawberry” is, you’d naturally say English.

But this is a trick question! The answer isn’t English.

So what is it? To solve it, you need to realize it’s a trick and notice that the “go” in “nani go” (“what language”) is written in hiragana, not the kanji for “language.” And what does “strawberry” actually refer to in the first place? Once you see that, you’ll reach the answer! It’s a question that tends to be swayed by your knowledge, but a child might answer it in an instant.

This puzzle is tricky because there are many possible answers.

Things that get hotter as it gets colder… You might be thinking of hand warmers or clothing, but the correct answer is something else.

First, try picturing a winter scene.

List a few things you associate with it, and think about “getting hot” as the keyword.

Also pay close attention to the fact that it’s written in hiragana! The answer is something everyone knows, and you’re likely to see it at least once in summer.

Here’s a hint: it’s something that melts in heat.

Sneaker laces sometimes come undone while you’re wearing them, right? You can just retie them when they come loose, but if your hands are full, you end up walking with untied laces—your shoes feel like they’re about to slip off, and you might even trip over the laces.

A lot of people probably have those quietly annoying memories.

Here’s a quiz about lace-up sneakers! Sneakers whose laces never come undone no matter how much you run around… sounds like a dream product, doesn’t it? But in fact, kids are already wearing this dream-like item.

You might figure out the answer just by looking at your own sneakers!
