Silhouette Quiz
Japanese name: シルエットクイズ
Materials
- Black silhouettes of animals or everyday objects
- Matching colored pictures
How to play
- An adult prepares 3–5 pairs of pictures: a black silhouette and its matching colored answer. Begin with familiar objects.
- Show one silhouette and ask what it could be. Give thinking time and allow words or gestures. Provide candidate pictures for pointing answers.
- Reveal the colored picture after suggestions and discuss which outline features were clues.
- Continue until all planned pictures are shown. Experienced players may offer silhouettes they draw themselves.
Ways to adapt
Preschool children: show colored answer choices. Younger primary school children: omit choices. Older primary school children: partly hide the silhouette.
