10 years as a kindergarten teacher / Elementary school teacher / Junior high and high school teacher / Childminder / SUZUKI Kenhamo certified instructorkepiko
Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music, Faculty of Music (now: Department of Music Culture and Education, Early Childhood Music Education major). In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher. After graduating from university, I worked for 10 years as a kindergarten teacher and for 7 years as an after-school childcare instructor, then took a post as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I also engaged in activities that shared Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational play, working with many children. Afterwards, through freelance writing, planning, and editing work at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and conveying ideas. Leveraging the perspective cultivated in educational settings and my experience as an editor, I aim to deliver practical information—focusing on fields related to music and children—that values both input and output. Hobbies include instruments, singing, handcrafts, toys, drawing, traditional play, the outdoors, books, DIY, and crafts. Special skill: spinning-top tricks.

Become a Trivia Master with a Four-Choice Quiz for Elementary Schoolers! A Collection of Fun Questions (21–30) That Kids and Adults Alike Will Love

Why is it called a blackboard even though it’s green?

Because it costs too much to make
Because the light is reflecting and it's hard to see.
Because green is easy on the eyes.
Because we can’t make a black blackboard.

See the answer

Because the light is reflecting and it's hard to see.

There is a theory that, in postwar schools, the baby boom led to an increase in the number of students, and in the packed classrooms, the glare on the blackboard from the windows made it hard to see from the front row, which is why the boards were changed to green. Nowadays, more schools are using whiteboards and monitors for lessons, but many people still associate school classrooms with blackboards.

For what original reason were buttons attached to suit sleeves?

decoration
so as not to wipe my nose
spare button
To change the width of the cuffs

See the answer

so as not to wipe my nose

The origin of suit sleeve buttons is said to trace back to Napoleon, renowned as a French hero. During France’s invasion of Russia, it’s said that soldiers, suffering from the extreme cold, wiped their runny noses on their jacket sleeves. As a result, when they marched, many soldiers’ sleeves were stiff with dried mucus. A leading theory holds that metal buttons were added to the sleeves to prevent soldiers from wiping their noses on them.

At zoos, you often see koalas sleeping, but how many hours a day do koalas sleep?

8 hours
12 hours
16 hours
20 hours

See the answer

20 hours

Eucalyptus, the main food of koalas, is fibrous, highly toxic, and low in nutrients, so digesting it requires a lot of energy. For this reason, it’s said that they sleep about 20 hours a day to conserve energy. On the other hand, when they really run, they are said to reach about 30 km/h, which shows just how fascinating animals can be.

In bullfighting, what are the bulls reacting to when they go on a rampage?

Voice of the matador
The way the fabric moves
red cloth
audience voices

See the answer

The way the fabric moves

People tend to think bulls go wild because of the color red, but in reality, bulls see in monochrome and cannot distinguish colors. To protect themselves from predators, they react to unfamiliar or moving objects; due to this instinct, they charge at a fluttering cloth. Therefore, the color of the cloth is irrelevant. In bullfighting, however, red is used to evoke images of blood and danger, which serves to excite the audience rather than the bull.

There is a round feature on the Great Buddha’s forehead called the “byakugō.” What does it represent?

The Third Eye
Accessories
hair
mole (skin spot)

See the answer

hair

Byakugō refers to the long, white, right-twisting hair that grows slightly above the space between the Great Buddha’s eyebrows. It is said that the light emitted from the byakugō illuminates the world, and if extended, it is about 4.5 meters long. In Hinduism, some deities are depicted with a third eye in the same position, so it can be easy to confuse the two.
