[Thank-You Party] A Collection of Game and Quiz Ideas That Will Excite Nursery and Kindergarten Kids

Hiragana Transformation Quiz

[For Kids] Hiragana Transformation Quiz [Word Play, Hiragana, Educational Video, Ages 1–5, Japanese Language, Animals, Objects, Names]

Add one letter to a word! Here’s an idea for a Hiragana transformation quiz.

これは幼稚園児がひらがなに親しむための楽しい方法です！例えば、くま（kuma, bear）に「る（ru）」を付けると「くるま（kuruma, car）」になり、たこ（tako, octopus）に「い（i）」を付けると「たいこ（taiko, drum）」になります。

Through the quiz, children discover the fun of how a word changes by adding a single Hiragana character to a complete word, making wordplay more and more enjoyable.

This can help them expand their vocabulary, deepen their understanding of Hiragana, and boost their motivation to learn new words!

Pun Quiz

[Quiz & Riddles] Pun Quiz / Take on the challenge with Mom! Quiz and riddle videos that 3-, 4-, and 5-year-olds will love

It’s like a riddle and really fun! Here are some ideas for pun quizzes.

By using puns, you can create laughter while learning words—a unique idea.

For example, for the question “What card game is a tiger playing?” the answer would be “toranpu” (trump), a play on words in Japanese.

Try coming up with answers that work like puns.

Children will develop creativity by twisting words to produce funny answers.

It’s something you can enjoy with family and friends while experiencing the fun of wordplay, and it helps build vocabulary and a sense of humor too! Let’s think up questions together, from easy to a bit challenging, and find the answers while laughing.

I wonder what color it will be?

Color Play: “What color will it be?” (Quiz)

Let’s play with mixing two colors! What color will we get? Here are some fun ideas.

It’s a quiz that builds excitement as you think about what color will appear! When you mix red and blue, what color do you get? The moment kids guess it exactly right will make it even more fun.

Plus, it’s great to come up with items that use the answer color together! For example, for purple: “grapes!” “eggplant!” For orange: “carrot!” “mandarin orange!” Thinking of familiar things related to each color really expands their world of colors.

It’s a colorful, fun idea that lets kids learn while they play!

Daily Life Sounds Quiz

Baby Laughs ♪ Kids' Animation ★ What Sound Is That? Daily Life Sound-Guessing Game ★ What is that sound? / Animation for kids

You’ll hear familiar sounds from everyday life! Here are some ideas for a daily-life sound quiz.

This quiz is a unique game that uses sounds you hear in your daily routine.

For example, when you hear sounds like “zaa” (rushing water) or “kachi-kachi” (clicking), try guessing, “What sound is this?” Children can build their concentration by listening carefully and thinking it through.

Because the sounds are so familiar, it’s easy for kids to answer and have fun while reflecting on their everyday life—that’s the key point! If you perk up your ears, you’ll find that every day is a treasure trove of quiz material!

Insect Evolution Quiz

[Insect Quiz] Bug Evolution Quiz | Insects | Babies Will Love It | Anime | Picture Book | Cute Insects | Bugs Quiz | Vocabulary for Kids

Let’s think about what kind of insect it will grow into! Here are some ideas for an Insect Evolution Quiz.

It’s a fun quiz you can enjoy while learning about the mysterious growth process of insects.

By thinking about what kind of insect a larva will turn into, it can spark interest in the mechanisms of nature and the changes of life.

When colorful insects and cute illustrated bugs appear, children’s curiosity will grow, and they’ll deepen their knowledge about insects while enjoying the quiz! As they predict the answers, they’ll feel closer to the world of insects.

Nursery Rhyme Intro Quiz

[Intro Quiz] We tried a buzzer quiz with songs often sung at daycare 🎤

Many preschools sing songs during morning meetings or at the end of the day.

Here’s a fun activity I recommend: a nursery rhyme intro quiz.

Use familiar nursery rhymes and enjoy guessing them from the intro! You can play the intro from a CD, play a little on the piano, or even hum a tune—it all sounds like fun.

Children often know the songs but forget or don’t remember the titles, so through the intro quiz, I hope they’ll learn the songs and their titles together.

It would also be fun to do team competitions or have the kids compete against a teachers’ team!

Speaking of ◯◯, games.

It’s a game where everyone thinks of an answer that fits the prompt, aiming to match each other’s responses.

By having people answer starting with the most common ideas, you can see how their thought processes differ, which also leads naturally into follow-up discussion topics.

Although it’s often seen as a large-group game where teams try to align their answers, you can also enjoy it with a small group by using rules where everyone reveals their answer at the same time and those who match earn points.

It’s also recommended to create a flow where players discuss and compromise—while being careful not to give away the exact answers.
