Why riddles are so good for kids
A riddle is a tiny puzzle made of words. To solve one, a child has to notice that words can mean two things at once, which is a real thinking skill: it builds vocabulary, flexible thinking and a sense of humor all at the same time. Riddles also teach kids to sit with being stumped for a moment, and the groan-then-grin when the answer lands is exactly what makes them want the next one.
How to use these riddles
Riddles work best out loud. Read the question to the car, the classroom or the dinner table, let everyone guess freely first, and only then look at the four choices. Teachers use one riddle as a morning warm-up or a line-up ticket at the door. And because each round deals 10 riddles from a pool of 120, the game stays fresh for many rounds of family competition.
