Here are seven riddles for kids where the answer is a pair of socks. These are therefore great for using with all our other riddles about clothes.
The first five of these are rhyming riddles, while the sixth is a one line riddle which also contains a rhyme.
The seventh idea is a What Am I riddle. To use that one, read the clue that’s on the first line to your kids and ask them to try guessing what they think the answer might be. As the clue is that it’s something that comes as a pair but isn’t binoculars, they might guess that it’s a pair of scissors, underwear or glasses.
If they don’t guess that socks is the answer, read your children the second clue and ask them to try guessing again. Keep going until they either work out that the answer is socks or they run out of clues.
