12 Christmas Riddles For Kids
1) Christmas Tree
Garland, lights and balls
They can all be seen
Once they are hung up
On this evergreen
2) Reindeer
When going around the world
This animal can find the way
It goes to every country
While helping pull Santa’s sleigh
3) Candy Cane
I’m made of two colors
And I look just like a hook
You’ll give me a lick
But I’m not something you cook
4) Christmas Stocking
What will it be stuffed with
There’s nobody who knows
But it looks like something
You’d slide over your toes
5) Advent Calendar
Open this everyday
For something that can’t be beat
Behind each of the doors
You will find a tasty treat
6) Elf
It is thanks to beings like me
Your Christmas toys don’t come from stores
Because I am a little helper
Who makes your gifts from Santa Claus
7) Mistletoe
I’m a plant seen at Christmas
Which people hang above
And then they stand beneath me
And kiss someone they love
8) Santa Claus
Hoping a stranger will break into your house
Would normally be quite weird
Except at Christmas when you want a visit
From this old man with a beard
9) Christmas Lights
You sometimes see them on a house
And often on a festive tree
They are often multicolored
And run on electricity
10) Christmas Wreath
It can be made from evergreens
Pine cones, berries and it’s round
On the front door of someone’s house
At Christmastime it is found
11) Nativity Scene
This has three people holding gifts
And a few animals maybe
Plus shepherds, parents and angels
And in the center, a baby
12) Snow
Dropping from the sky
More beautiful than rain
There are no two pieces
That’ll ever look the same
