About these March riddles
March packs a lot into one month, and these riddles use all of it: the first signs of spring, daffodils, kites in the wind, rainbows after rain, St. Patrick's Day with leprechauns and green, and even basketball's March Madness. There is a bit of history too, with a riddle about the Ides of March and Julius Caesar, and the old saying about March coming in like a lion and going out like a lamb.
Because the topics range so widely, the list works for a mixed group. Younger kids can handle the daffodil and kite clues, while older kids and adults will enjoy the lion and lamb pair or the Ides of March. It is a handy list to keep for the whole month rather than a single day.
Ways to use them
- Post one riddle a day on a classroom board through March, with the answer revealed the next morning.
- Use the St. Patrick's Day riddles at a class party and hand out a green sticker for each correct guess.
- Pair the lion and lamb riddles with a weather chart and ask kids at the end of the month how March actually went out.
