Here are four riddles for kids where an elevator is the answer to each one. These are therefore perfect for using with our other building riddles.
The first three of these are rhyming riddles, while the fourth asks your children What Am I?
To use that final idea, read the clue that’s on the first line to your kids and ask them to try guessing the answer. As the clue is that it’s something that has buttons but which isn’t a shirt, they might guess that it’s a microwave, a TV remote or a car stereo.
If they don’t guess that the answer is an elevator, read them the clue on the second line and ask them to guess again. Keep going until they either work out that an elevator is the answer to the riddle or until they run out of clues.
