Our series of animal riddles has proven to be very popular, so we’re continuing with that theme today with seven where ‘shark’ is the answer.
These riddles for kids therefore fit in well with many of our other themes, such as nature, movies, beach and scary.
The first five of these are rhyming ones, there’s a one liner and it’s rounded off by a What Am I? riddle.
To use the last idea, read the first line of it to your children and get them to take a guess at what they think the answer is.
The reference to teeth might make them say something like a comb, mouth or lion. If that’s the case and they don’t guess that the answer’s shark, read them the second clue and ask them to guess again.
Keep doing this until they either guess that shark is the correct answer or they run out of clues.
