Here are several different types of riddles for kids where the answer is ‘Holly’.
These are therefore great for using with many of our other riddle themes like:
The first few of these rhyme; with the third one, the word ‘Holly’ completes the riddle.
The fourth one is a one line riddle and the final option is a What Am I riddle.
With the What Am I idea, read the first line to your kids and get them to guess what they think the answer is.
If they don’t guess correctly, read them the second clue and get them to guess again. Keep going until they either get the correct answer or run out of clues.
