Intro Quiz
The “intro quiz,” which you often see on TV variety shows, is a great activity to enjoy by gathering songs everyone knows—especially since children in nurseries and kindergartens listen to many songs.
Mixing in anime themes and J-pop will make it even more exciting.
It’s helpful to quietly research the shows the children are watching.
Another tip is to include songs and themes familiar to the teachers’ and parents’ generation.
You might be surprised who can answer fastest just from hearing the intro!
stereo game
Here’s an idea for a stereo game that makes it fun to listen carefully to sounds.
The players split into three roles: the right-side team, the left-side team, and the guesser.
First, have the guesser close their eyes, and during that time present the prompts.
Keep the prompts simple, like “river” or “mountain.” Then, on a signal, the left and right teams each say their assigned prompt, and the guesser has to identify both prompts by listening.
It’s called a stereo game because the sounds come from two different directions.
Song Title Guessing Quiz
A song title guessing quiz is a game where you listen to a song and answer with the exact title.
Since it’s a thank-you party, it’s recommended to choose children’s songs that both kids and adults will recognize.
If you want to offer hints, revealing the first and last letters of the title might help participants get closer to the answer.
You could also make it a team competition or set time limits to make it even more exciting.
Choosing a theme for the quiz can turn it into a really enjoyable activity.
What am I saying?
The “What am I saying?” quiz is a game where you look at someone’s mouth and guess what they’re saying.
The person with the most correct answers wins! The quiz giver should open their mouth wide and move their lips slowly when presenting the quiz.
Giving hints—like the first letter or roughly how many letters the word has—makes it easier to imagine the answer.
It’s also a good idea to gradually increase the difficulty with categories like foods, animal names, or the names of teachers you’re grateful to.
Nursery Rhyme Intro Quiz
In the nursery rhyme intro quiz, listen to the very beginning of the song and whoever figures it out first gives the answer.
The person with the most correct answers wins.
By mixing in melodies the teacher has played on the piano during daily activities and the nursery rhymes of the month, both children and adults can get excited and have fun together.
If you need a hint, it’s a good idea to play a slightly longer portion of the music.
Team matches or individual competitions are also recommended! Everyone, please give it a try and have fun playing together.
How many ninjas are there?

A lord and a princess also show up along the way, so it’s a great way to build careful listening and observation skills.
Once they get used to the quiz, change the number of rounds or the speed to make it even more exciting! You can also add more characters besides the lord and the princess for extra fun.
Give it a try!
Fingerplay Quiz
https://www.tiktok.com/@seika.recruit/video/7402092840618069265Let’s turn a classic hand game into a quiz! Here are some ideas for a hand-game quiz.
This is a way to enjoy the hand game “Gu, Choki, Pa de nani tsukurou” in a quiz version.
The rules are simple: while doing the “Gu, Choki, Pa de nani tsukurou” hand game, parents or teachers just pause a little before saying the answer.
That’s it! It’s very simple, right? Combining the right and left hands to see what you can make nurtures children’s imagination.
You can almost hear their cheerful voices: “A butterfly!” “A crab!”
