What’s inside the box?
A party game classic! How about enjoying “What’s in the Box?” at your thank-you party? It’s a simple game where you stick your hand into a box without knowing what’s inside, feel it, and guess what it is.
Even harmless items like a scrub brush or konnyaku can seem scary when you can’t see them.
It’s easy to prepare yet always a hit, so consider adding it to your program.
Since children will likely participate, be sure to choose contents with care to avoid allergies and injuries!
Sketchbook Quiz
Let’s flip through a few pages and take a peek! Here are some sketchbook quiz ideas.
They’re fun prompts that spark kids’ imaginations based on the visible clues.
Use the drawings and colors in the sketchbook as hints and give the quiz a try! Asking “What is it?” or “I wonder what this could be?” will surely deepen communication with friends and classmates.
Quizzes that incorporate visual elements are memorable and exciting.
Give them a try!
Who is this teacher?
Perfect for birthday parties and other events! Here’s a fun “Which teacher is this?” idea.
You’ll need thick paper, black construction paper, laminating sheets or clear tape, scissors, glue, a chopstick, tape, and a pencil.
Print large photos of the teachers at your school and make a quiz! You might think the kids, who always pay close attention to their teachers, will find it easy—but surprisingly, they’ll often get it wrong, and the room will be filled with laughter.
Give it a try!
Food Quiz
At kindergarten and nursery school thank-you parties, games that everyone can enjoy are recommended.
The food quiz we’re introducing this time has players guess the answer from the quiz clues.
It uses familiar foods, making it a fun quiz that children can enjoy.
If they’re not sure, give them a hint.
With children’s flexible thinking, they’ll have fun and find the right answers.
It will be even more exciting if you make it an individual or team competition for adults and children!
Hiragana Rearrangement Quiz
Let’s enjoy a word-scramble quiz with phrases everyone knows at the thank-you party.
After choosing a theme word, convert it to hiragana and write each character on a large sheet of paper, one per sheet.
Each person holds one hiragana and lines up side by side in an order that doesn’t reveal the word.
The participants then try to guess the theme word.
Whether the answer comes quickly or takes some time, you can enjoy the atmosphere of the quiz as well.
It’s exciting for both adults and children when they figure it out! Let’s all work together to find the correct answer.
stereo game
Here’s an idea for a stereo game that makes it fun to listen carefully to sounds.
In this game, participants split into three roles: a right-side team, a left-side team, and a guesser.
First, have the guesser close their eyes while you decide on prompts.
Keep the prompts simple, like “river” or “mountain.” Then, on a signal, the left and right teams each say their assigned prompt at the same time, and the guesser has to identify both words by listening.
It’s called a stereo game because the sounds come from two different directions.
The park’s true-or-false quiz
You probably have many memories of the preschools and kindergartens the children attended.
How about making a true-or-false quiz about the school? Turning topics like the teachers’ favorite foods or the dance performed at the sports day into quiz questions could work well.
The children might come up with lots of answers.
Although this may be the last time you think and answer together at the thank-you party, a quiz would be a nice way to look back on the school.
It’s an activity where the teachers can also feel the children’s growth through their lively comments.
