Opposite Words Quiz
If you know, tell me! Here’s an idea for an opposite-words quiz.
It’s a quiz where you answer using words you already know.
For example, the opposite of “big” is “small.” Think of words that have opposite meanings and answer.
When you learn the opposites of words you use in everyday life, your vocabulary grows.
Once you get used to it, try tackling the opposites of slightly more difficult words—it can make it even more fun! It’s a fun quiz that can also boost communication skills when you think about it together with family or friends.
Everyday Sounds Quiz
This is a quiz where you guess familiar everyday sounds.
Even if it’s a sound you hear all the time, when you really focus on it, you might find yourself thinking, “What sound is that again?” If you present this unique quiz at a thank-you party, the kids are sure to enjoy it.
Try focusing on easily recognizable sounds like “the sound of drawing a curtain” or “a vending machine sound.”
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.
Daily Life Sounds Quiz
You’ll hear familiar sounds from everyday life! Here are some ideas for a daily-life sound quiz.
This quiz is a unique game that uses sounds you hear in your daily routine.
For example, when you hear sounds like “zaa” (rushing water) or “kachi-kachi” (clicking), try guessing, “What sound is this?” Children can build their concentration by listening carefully and thinking it through.
Because the sounds are so familiar, it’s easy for kids to answer and have fun while reflecting on their everyday life—that’s the key point! If you perk up your ears, you’ll find that every day is a treasure trove of quiz material!
Gluttonous Ghost Quiz
The Gluttonous Ghost Quiz is a kind of quiz you perform like a panel theater.
As the song plays, everyone guesses what the silhouettes are.
Start with simple silhouettes and gradually increase the difficulty to build excitement.
The quiz presenter should keep a good pace and make sure the song can be heard by the participants.
For a thank-you party, it’s also a great idea to include silhouettes of the teachers or the kindergarten bus.
We hope you all have a fun and lively thank-you party!
Food Quiz
At kindergarten and nursery school thank-you parties, games that everyone can enjoy are recommended.
The food quiz we’re introducing this time has players guess the answer from the quiz clues.
It uses familiar foods, making it a fun quiz that children can enjoy.
If they’re not sure, give them a hint.
With children’s flexible thinking, they’ll have fun and find the right answers.
It will be even more exciting if you make it an individual or team competition for adults and children!

Name-guessing quiz
A name-guessing quiz using photos taken as a record of growth is perfect for a thank-you party, isn’t it? Prepare several photos and have everyone guess which child is in each picture.
As you go through the photos, there may even be moving moments that bring tears to people’s eyes.
It’s a quiz everyone can enjoy while sharing in the children’s growth, so definitely give it a try! Since you’ll need photos, it’s a good idea to contact the parents of the children who will be included in the quiz in advance.
