About these riddles for grandmas
These riddles are drawn from the cozy corners of a grandparent's home: the photo album, knitting needles, the sewing machine, the teapot, the rocking chair, the recipe book and the quilt. That gives them a warm, nostalgic feel, and many answers carry a story with them. The recipe book riddle, filled with dishes "passed down through generations," can easily lead to a grandma sharing where a family recipe came from.
The clues are gentle and clear, so grandmas can solve them at their own pace and then read them to grandchildren of almost any age. Young kids can guess the ones about quilts and clocks, while older grandchildren enjoy trying to stump grandma with the rest.
Ways to use them
- Play a round during a visit, grandma asking one and a grandchild asking the next.
- Tuck a riddle into a letter or a card to a grandparent, with the answer on the back.
- Use the photo album riddle to start looking through real family photos together.
