Sofa Riddles

August 11, 2016 By Stephen Pepper

Our series of household item riddles for kids continues today with six that all have a sofa as the answer. These are therefore also great for using with our other living room and furniture riddles.

A couch is also an acceptable answer, except with the third riddle as one of its clues is that it’s also known as a couch. If you’re in the UK, feel free to accept a settee as the answer.

The first four of these are rhyming riddles, while the fifth is a one line riddle which also has an internal rhyme.

The sixth riddle asks your children What Am I? To use that idea, read the clue that’s on the first line to your children and have them attempt to answer it.

As the clue is that it’s something with a back but which isn’t a camel, there’s a good chance that they’ll guess that it’s some other kind of animal. If they don’t guess that the answer is a sofa, read them the second clue and get them to take another guess now that they have the extra information.

Keep doing this until they either work out that a sofa is the answer or they run out of clues.

Sofa Riddles For Kids

This is in your living room
It’s sometimes made of leather
If there’s two or three of you
It helps you sit together

~

I’m in your living room
But I’m not a TV
I sometimes have two seats
And sometimes I have three

~

This is a piece of furniture
On which you might choose to slouch
It is found in your living room
And is also called a couch

~

Although this thing is not a bed
It’s where you can lay down or sit
It is found in a living room
Two or three people it can fit

~

This thing can sit two or three while you all watch TV

~

What Am I?

I have a back but I’m not a camel
I have a frame but I’m not a bicycle
I’m found in a living room but I’m not a photo
I’m a piece of furniture but I’m not a coffee table
I’m sometimes made of leather but I’m not a jacket

Living Room Riddles

August 9, 2016 By Stephen Pepper

We’re continuing our series of riddles for kids about things you can find around the house today with five where the answer is a living room. These riddles can therefore also be used with all of our other room riddles.

The first three of these are rhyming riddles, while the fourth is a one-liner that has an internal rhyme.

The fifth of these riddles asks your kids What Am I? To use that one, read the clue that’s on the first line to your children and ask them to take a guess at what they think the answer could be.

As that clue is that it’s something that has seats but which isn’t a train, they might guess that it’s a car, a movie theater or a baseball stadium. If they don’t guess that a living room is the answer, read them the second clue and ask them to try guessing again. Keep doing this until they either work out that the answer is a living room or they run out of clues.

Living Room Riddles For Kids

Living Room Riddles For Kids

This is a place in a house
Where you might find a bookcase
A couch and coffee table
A TV and fireplace

~

I am somewhere in your house
Where you can sit and watch TV
As I also have a couch
That’s able to sit two or three

~

This is an area in a home
Where you can relax and watch cable
While you’re sitting on a sofa
And there might be a coffee table

~

I’m a room with a TV and a table for coffee

~

What Am I?

I have seats but I’m not a train
I have windows but I’m not an airplane
I have tables but I’m not a restaurant
I have bookcases but I’m not a library
I have a sofa but I’m not a coffee shop
I have a TV but I’m not a bedroom

Fireplace Riddles

August 4, 2016 By Stephen Pepper

Our series of household item riddles for kids is continuing today with five where the answer is a fireplace.

These are therefore also great for using with our other winter riddles and for things that you might find in a living room.

The first four of these are rhyming riddles, with the word ‘fireplace’ completing the rhyme of the fourth.

The fifth and final one listed below is a What Am I riddle. To use that, read the clue that’s on the first line to your kids and have them take a guess at the answer.

As the clue is that it’s something that can keep you warm but which isn’t a scarf, they might guess that it’s a sweater, jacket or hat. If they don’t guess that it’s a fireplace, read them the second clue and ask them to guess again now that they have some extra information. Keep doing this until they either realize that a fireplace is the answer or they run out of clues.

Fireplace Riddles For Kids

This can be found inside some homes
But can you work out its name?
Surrounded by a mantelpiece
It has logs that are aflame

~

What’s the answer to this rhyme?
I am found beneath a chimney
And when it is Christmas time
I have stockings hung over me

~

When used it can warm you up
But try not to burn your hand
When he comes down a chimney
This is where Santa would land

~

If you travel overseas
Then you need to buy a case
If you want log flames at home
Then you need a _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

~

What Am I?

I can keep you warm but I’m not a scarf
I’m often made of brick or stone but I’m not a wall
I sometimes have a poker but I don’t have a deck of cards
I contain logs but I’m not a forest
I’m found beneath a chimney but I’m not Santa

Candle Riddles

August 2, 2016 By Stephen Pepper

We’re continuing our series of household item riddles today with five where a candle is the answer.

The first four of these rhyme, with the word ‘candle’ completing the rhyme of the fourth one.

The fifth of these is a What Am I riddle. To use that idea, read the first line to your children and ask them to try to guess what they think the answer might be. As the clue is that it’s something that gets blown but which isn’t a bubble, they might guess it’s a nose, balloon, hair or even your mind!

If they don’t guess that it’s a candle, read them the clue on the second line and have them take another guess now that they have some additional information. Keep going until they either work out that the answer is a candle or they run out of clues.

Candle Riddles For Kids

Candle Riddles For Kids

This is something that gives light
But it is not a sun ray
It is what you will blow out
On a cake on your birthday

~

I am often long and thin
And get held inside a stick
My outside is made of wax
And inside there is a wick

~

This is found on a birthday cake
But it’s not something you bite
When one’s in a small metal cup
It is known as a tealight

~

I am something in the house
But I’m not a door handle
I’m made of wax and get lit
Which means that I’m a _ _ _ _ _ _

~

What Am I?

I get blown but I’m not a bubble
I get shorter the more I’m used but I’m not a pencil
I’m made of wax but I’m not a crayon
I can help you see in the dark but I’m not a flashlight
I’m often found on a birthday cake but I’m not icing

Umbrella Riddles

July 28, 2016 By Stephen Pepper

We’re continuing our series of riddles for kids about household items today with five that all have an umbrella as the answer. That means that these pair perfectly with our other weather riddles as well.

The first four of these are rhyming riddles, while the fifth asks your children What Am I?

To use that final riddle, read the first line of it to your kids and have them take a guess at the answer. As the clue is that it’s something which goes up when it’s used, they might guess that it’s a helicopter, an elevator or a hot air balloon.

If they don’t guess that the answer is an umbrella, read them the clue on the second line and have them take another guess. Keep going until they either realize that an umbrella is the correct answer or they run out of clues.

Umbrella Riddles For Kids

Umbrella Riddles For Kids

If you have one of these
Then dry you will remain
Hold it above your head
It will keep off the rain

~

There are times when you will get wet
But it is not because you cry
In rain hold this above your head
And it will help to keep you dry

~

If it is raining outside
You’d use one of these I bet
As it’s held above your head
To keep you from getting wet

~

I am something that goes up
Although I am not a kite
I am held over your head
To help block rain or sunlight

~

What Am I?

I go up when I’m used but I’m not a balloon
I have a handle but I’m not a car door
I get wet but I’m not a washcloth
I go above your head but I’m not mistletoe
I’m used in the rain but I’m not windshield wipers
