[Thank-You Party] A Collection of Game and Quiz Ideas to Liven Up Nursery and Kindergarten Events (31–40)
Guess the Instrument Sound Quiz
In kindergartens and nursery schools, there are often many opportunities to perform using musical instruments.
Some teachers may have memories of practicing extensively with the children in preparation for recitals.
For the thank-you party, how about creating a quiz using those instruments filled with memories? Along with classic instruments like the piano, tambourine, and drums, if your school uses any unique instruments, try including them in the quiz.
It may bring back joyful memories and the children’s hard work, making it a deeply moving time.
Baby Quiz
How about a “Baby Photo Quiz” that’s guaranteed to liven up the thank-you party? The rules are simple: show photos of your friends when they were babies and ask, “Who is this?” Have everyone guess! It’s tricky—you’ll think you know, but you might not.
Look for familiar features, use your powers of deduction, and see if you can get it right!
Atama-Oshiri Game
https://www.tiktok.com/@kty_kids/video/7255170409799208210The Head-and-Tail game that builds excitement to the rhythm is an easy one for kids to join.
The quizmaster chooses a word and tells the answerer the first and last letters.
The answerer thinks about the letters that go in between, completes the word, and answers.
Setting a time limit makes it even more exciting.
A tip for the quizmaster is to prepare simple, easy-to-understand words like fruits or animals.
If it’s too hard, give hints along the way to help them find the correct answer.
Ping-pong ball carrying game
https://www.tiktok.com/@bear_kids_official/video/7446730706438327569Place the specified number of ping-pong balls at the start position.
At the starting signal, carry them to the paper plate at the finish line by placing them on a spoon one at a time.
The first person to carry all their balls wins.
Be careful not to drop them along the way or let them roll off when placing them on the paper plate.
You can substitute the spoon with a ladle or similar utensil, so adjust things so it’s not too easy or too hard.
It works for individual matches, but if there are many participants, a team relay format will make it more exciting.
Balloon Popping Challenge!
@bom2tv Which one will reach the goal first? 🥳🎈#BalloonPoppingChallenge#Yochidomi
Classic Medley 2019 – Pianica Magician
Line up the balloons in a row and the game begins! Jump on the balloons to pop them one by one.
The winner is the person who pops all the balloons first and then pops the single balloon placed at the end by hand.
Popping balloons can be surprisingly scary, so you might not do well at first—but be brave and try stomping down with confidence.
If you’re playing with a large group, prepare plenty of inflated balloons in advance.
Also, since moving balloons can be dangerous, make sure to secure them firmly to the floor.

Crab-Crab Three-Legged Race
Speaking of three-legged races, two people stand side by side, tie one of their legs together with a cord to make a single leg, link shoulders, and aim for the finish line, right? But in this “Crab-Crab Three-Legged Race,” the two people stand back-to-back and tie both of their legs together.
Then they link arms and head for the goal.
Since you have to move sideways, it’s surprisingly hard to make forward progress compared to a regular three-legged race.
It’s plenty of fun even on a short course and can be done in limited spaces, so why not get everyone fired up—including the teachers?
Hula hoop relay
How about trying a two-person hula hoop pass game? This is a time attack where teams compete to see how quickly they can send the hula hoop there and back.
Naturally, the team that finishes in the shortest time wins.
To get ready, the two players hold hands, and each extends their free arm straight out at shoulder height.
Hang the hula hoop on the wrist of the person who will go first, and start the game! Without letting go of hands, pass the hula hoop back and forth.
When the hula hoop returns to its starting position, you’ve reached the goal.
