About this GK for Nursery quiz

These nursery GK questions and answers are written for children of about three years old who are just starting school. The 15 questions use very short words and familiar things: animal sounds, colours, shapes, the parts of the body, fruits and flowers, the sky, vehicles and counting fingers. Every question has one clear right answer and three choices that are easy to rule out.

Toddlers learn best by talking, so play this quiz together. Read each question aloud, show the four choices, and let your child point or say the answer. Then read the short explanation, which adds one new idea, like the Sun shining in the day and the Moon at night. Clap for every try, right or wrong.

Teachers can use these general knowledge questions for nursery class as a morning circle-time game, a quick oral test, or a way to fill the last few minutes before home time. Parents can save the answer key below and ask the nursery GK questions during meals, bath time or a drive. Repeating the same questions over a few days helps young children remember the answers and feel proud when they know them.

A fun fact for little ones: a rabbit can hop forward and also twist in the air when it is happy. People call this happy jump a "binky".
