Teacher Guessing Quiz
This is also a perfect quiz for preschool or kindergarten thank-you parties.
How about giving a quiz about the teachers the children spend time with every day? If it’s about their beloved teachers, the kids will surely know the answers.
The key is to make the questions easy to imagine, like the teacher’s favorite color or favorite food.
You can also include questions like “Which of the following does the teacher do on their day off?”—even if no one knows the correct answer, it will liven things up.
You might discover an unexpected side of the teachers.
It’s a format that parents can enjoy participating in as well.
True-or-false quiz
Let’s liven up the thank-you party with a True-or-False quiz! If you pick topics based on things familiar to the children, they’ll be excited to think about the answers.
For example, “There are five faucets in the playground.
True or false?” or “Mr./Ms.
A’s favorite color is red.
True or false?” Questions like these get everyone buzzing, especially those who know the answers.
Mark the spots for True and False beforehand and have the children move to the side they think is correct—this makes it easy to manage even with a large group.
With this quiz, you might discover unexpected facts about friends and teachers you didn’t know before.
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.
Baby Quiz
Borrow baby photos from the graduates’ parents and enjoy a Baby Photo Quiz! It’s a simple game of “Whose baby is this?”, but guessing which child has grown into the person they are now—just from features like the eyes or nose—can be surprisingly tricky.
The children can have fun discussing among themselves: “Who could it be?” “Maybe it’s so-and-so?” For parents and teachers, it’s a wonderful chance to appreciate how much the children have grown.
Be mindful that some parents may be cautious about providing photos; collect them with care and plan for the possibility that some may decline.
Parts Quiz
One quiz you often see on TV shows is the “parts quiz.” As the name suggests, you look at a part and answer what it is.
For example, you look at a close-up image of an eye and guess what animal it belongs to, or you look at a portion of an illustration and guess which anime character it is.
With a bit of creativity, it could also be fun to make quizzes using the teacher’s features or photos of familiar objects.
Adjust the format to suit the children’s age—for instance, making it multiple-choice with four options—to make it easier for them to answer.
Odd one out quiz
Let’s liven up the thank-you party with an Odd One Out quiz! When creating Odd One Out quizzes, you can come up with many different patterns.
For example, you might show photos of a panda, a police car, a zebra, and a fire truck, and ask which one doesn’t belong.
In this case, the fire truck is the odd one out because its colors aren’t black and white.
You can base quizzes not only on color, but also on shape, size, occupation—anything goes.
