Riddles for Kids - Animal related

A riddle is a statement, or question, or phrase that has a veiled meaning.

A riddle is also a question that is worded in such a way as to require clever or unexpected thinking in order to find the answer. One of the most commonly used methods of setting a riddle is to use words with double meanings.

In order to be successful, a riddle needs someone to ask the question - or pose the riddle and another person or persons to accept the challenge.

Riddles have become a type of guessing game involving wit and skill. In this lens Animal Riddles for Kids I have put together several riddles related to animals. I think that these are great fun - I hope that you enjoy them too.

What are Riddles.


Riddles are mysteries to be solved.

Over the years, they seem to take on subtle and different forms.

In more recent times, Riddles usually take the form of jokes.

Riddles can also be put as puzzles to be solved.

Riddles and learning.

Riddles are great fun and can be an excellent way for children to learn about words and vocabulary.

Riddles can demonstrate to a child that words can have more than one meaning. I have always found that sharing riddles and the fun and then sharing the thinking behind the riddle, goes down really well and leads to the kid being inspired to explore riddles further.
