The park’s true-or-false quiz
The circle-and-cross quiz at the kindergarten seems perfect for a thank-you party game.
By learning more about the teachers who took care of the children, there will be new and unexpected discoveries, making it an exciting quiz.
It can also be a time to look back on memories from kindergarten life and reflect on the children’s growth, which might turn into a touching moment.
Having participants hold papers with the circle and cross marks during the game helps everyone visually see who chose O or X, which could boost the excitement even more.
Playing background music to set the mood is also recommended.
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.
Simple riddle
This time, we’re introducing some very easy riddles that even children can solve.
These riddles call for perspective, flashes of insight, and flexible thinking.
Be sure to enjoy them at the thank-you party.

It would be great to prepare answers related to the school, the class, or the teachers—things that children and parents will find fun.

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.

Revealing hints little by little also helps develop their thinking skills.
It’s a great idea that lets kids learn while having fun and deepen their knowledge!
