Our series of fruit riddles for kids continues today with five where the answer is a lemon. These therefore also go well with our other food riddles.
The first four of them rhyme; if you use the second idea, you might need to explain to your kids that the answer is an anagram of ‘melon.’
The fifth idea is a What Am I riddle. To use that one, read the clue that’s on the first line to your children and ask them to guess the answer.
As that clue is that it’s something that’s yellow but which isn’t a rubber duck, they might guess that it’s a sunflower, a pepper or a banana.
If they don’t guess that a lemon is the answer, read them the second clue and have them take another guess. Keep going until they either get the correct answer or they run out of clues.
