18 Halloween Riddles For Kids
1) Witch
Oz had good ones from the north and south
And wicked ones from the east and west
But flying around on a broomstick
Is probably how they are known best
2) Spider
This is a common little bug
That many people fear
This fear has a special name
It’s arachnophobia
3) Ghost
If you are in a creepy house
And hear an unusual sound
It might be this apparition
Who can be seen floating around
4) Blood
I’m something that can be pumped
But I am not a tire
I am a body fluid
That’s drunk by a vampire
5) Bat
These winged creatures often scare people
If you touch one you are brave
They’re often found just hanging out
Upside down inside a cave
6) Skeleton
This body has no ears or tongue
So he’s not able to use phones
Tickling doesn’t work on him
Because he’s only made of bones
7) Vampire
You’ll never see one of these
If you stay in the daylight
But beware when nighttime comes
As your neck might feel a bite
8) Mummy
If you are an archaeologist
And you dig up an old tomb
Beware this monster wrapped in linen
Or else you might meet your doom
9) Werewolf
If you see this hairy creature
Your first choice should always be to run
Otherwise you had better hope
You have silver bullets in a gun
10) Bones
Vertebrae and ribs
Skull and phalanges
Femur and sternum
What are all of these?
11) Frankenstein’s Monster
Made out of different body parts
Brought to life by electricity
Bolts in my neck and yellowish skin
Why can’t people show me some pity
12) Pumpkin
Remove the seeds
And carve a face
Your front doorstep
Is where it’s placed
13) Broomstick
It is thanks to this item
That you can sweep the floor
It’s also used by witches
So they can fly and soar
14) Coffin
If you find yourself laying in one
You won’t be feeling merry
As it means that when the lid is closed
It’s you that they will bury
15) Cauldron
Eye of newt and toe of frog
Wool of bat? Just a spot
These are all what witches brew
Inside this big black pot
16) Haunted House
This structure isn’t somewhere
You ever want to be
Because it has lots of ghosts
That make it so scary
17) Black Cat
To make sure you don’t have bad luck
And have everything be fine
Make sure that your path isn’t crossed
By this dark as night feline
18) Tombstone
There are hundreds of these in a graveyard
But dead bodies it is not
It’s what contains all the info as to
Who’s in each burial plot
