About these riddles for kids
This is the biggest list in the collection, so it covers a wide spread of children's lives: toys, pets, food, music and games. The early riddles name things kids handle every day, such as balloons, books, LEGO blocks, stuffed animals and ice cream, which means even a five year old can join in. The goldfish riddle, "a quiet pet that doesn't make a sound," is a sweet example of a clue that paints a clear picture.
Further down, the riddles become trickier, so the same page can serve a preschooler and a ten year old. The clues are short and mostly rhyming, which helps early readers and makes them easy to say out loud. Because there are so many, families can come back to the list for weeks without repeating.
Ways to use them
- Pick one riddle for each day of the week and pin it on the fridge, with the answer revealed at dinner.
- Play in teams on a long car ride, alternating an easy riddle for the youngest with a hard one for older kids.
- Use the toy riddles as clues in a tidy up game: solve it, then put that toy away.
