Emoji Quiz — Vocabulary and Inference Game for Kids

Emoji Quiz

For parents

What this teaches

Emoji Quiz takes 2-3 emoji and asks your child to guess the word, movie, food, place, or animal hidden behind them. Each round runs 10 multiple-choice questions across categories like Movies, Food, Places, and Animals. There's an optional hint per question. The whole loop rewards lateral thinking — the kind of inferencing that helps with reading comprehension long before they realise it's a skill.
