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!
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.
Pun Quiz
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?
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!
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.
Instrument Quiz
A lively instrument quiz where you listen and answer.
In this activity, you listen to the timbre and guess what instrument it is.
First, let them hear the instrument on its own, then have them sing along to match the timbre—this way, they’ll enjoy it whether they get it right or not.
Beyond being a fun quiz, the real charm is that it might spark interest in music and instruments.
It’s a bit off the quiz track, but introducing each instrument one by one could be fun too.
Daily Life Sounds Quiz
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!
