[Thank-You Party] A Collection of Game & Quiz Ideas That Excite Nursery and Kindergarten (1–10)
Pose Matching Game
Can everyone match the prompt pose without any discussion? Pose Matching Game is a game where you see if everyone can strike the same pose without talking it over.
You don’t need any special items, so it’s perfect for those moments when you’ve got nothing on hand but want to do something fun together! You can also make it a team competition with the rule: the team with the higher pose match rate wins.
Russian cream puff
A Russian roulette game where the person who gets the spicy filling loses is perfect for a thank-you party where everyone gathers.
For thank-you parties that children will attend, it’s recommended to switch out the spicy fillings for less intense options like sour, salty, or sweet ones.
Using juices for Russian roulette or using candies could also be fun and get everyone excited.
When playing Russian roulette, be sure to check for any participant allergies before you start.
Balloon Popping Game
How about enjoying a “Balloon Launch Game” using paper cups and balloons at your thank-you party? It’s a very simple game, but it gets everyone excited, so I highly recommend it! First, build a paper cup pyramid to use as the target.
You can choose any location and size you like.
Once you hand each participant an inflated balloon, the game begins! At their own timing, they launch the balloon toward the target, and if the paper cups collapse, they succeed! Balloons don’t fly straight as you’d expect, which makes it tricky—but that’s what makes it fun.

Ping-pong ball game
At kindergarten and nursery school thank-you parties, people of a wide range of ages—children, parents, and teachers—come together.
After the graduation ceremony, it’s the last time everyone gets to play together.
So the games at the party should be ones everyone can enjoy.
How about trying a fun game using ping-pong balls? Place a ping-pong ball on top of a tube-shaped object, bring it to your mouth, and blow.
The key is to blow as hard as you can.
Set up a container and prizes where the ping-pong ball will land.
The distance the ball travels determines which prize you win.
Prizes can be snacks or perhaps stationery items.
Enjoy a wonderful time with the ping-pong ball game!

♬ Athletic Meet “Heaven and Hell” (No Introduction) – Shinonome
The toilet paper speed-rolling contest is all about quickness, and it’s a simple game where the person who finishes rolling the paper the fastest wins.
You might enjoy it even more by agreeing on rules in advance—such as whether to play in teams or individually, and how long the time limit should be.
It could also be exciting if everyone joins the game in character, like as cats, dogs, or popular characters.
Other toilet paper games, like building a toilet paper tower, are also recommended.
Name guessing game
Children who have spent a long time together in daycare or kindergarten can usually recall their friends’ names as soon as they see their faces.
This name-guessing game uses several photos from the children’s infant and toddler years: show an old photo and have everyone guess who it is.
If it’s hard to tell because they’ve grown up and look more like big kids now, giving a small hint is recommended.
It’s a lively game that lets everyone appreciate how much the children have grown.
It might also be fun to have them briefly share a story from when they were little.
Spoon Relay
This is a spoon relay that’s sure to be a hit at any thank-you party.
Split into teams, carry a ping-pong ball on a spoon to the destination, return to the starting point, and pass it to the next person without dropping it.
The first team to finish wins.
It’s a very fun game that tests your concentration so you don’t drop the ping-pong ball.
The rules are simple, so it’s a game everyone can enjoy, from adults to kids! It might also be fun to use a Chinese-style soup spoon instead of a regular spoon.
