We’re starting a new series of riddles this week where the answers will be different types of food.
Today’s set has several where the answer is ‘orange.’ In addition to these being good to use with our other food riddles, they could also be used with our other ideas that are based on different fruits and colors.
The first four of these rhyme, while the final one is a What Am I? riddle. To use that, read the first line of it to your kids and get them to guess what they think the answer is.
If they’re not correct, read them the second line and have them guess again. Keep going until they either work out that you’re describing the word orange or they run out of clues.
