Daisy Riddles

By

Our series of plant and flower riddles continues today with four where the answer is a daisy.

The first three of these are rhyming riddles, with the word ‘daisy’ completing the rhyme of the first one.

The fourth is a What Am I riddle. To use that one, 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 someone in Thomas And Friends but who isn’t Gordon, they might guess that it’s James, Percy, Henry or one of the other characters.

If they don’t guess that Daisy is the answer (as she’s a more minor character), read them the clue on the second line and have them guess again. Keep doing this until they either guess the correct answer or they run out of clues.

Lavender Riddles

By

We started a new series last week where all the riddles are different types of plants or flowers.

We’re continuing that series today with some rhyming riddles for kids that have lavender as their answer. To be honest, we struggled to come up with ideas for this one, so there are only a few riddles for lavender below!

Growing in fields in Provence, France

Mistletoe Riddles

By

We’re starting a new series today where we’re going to be publishing lots of riddles for kids about different types of plants and flowers.

Today’s collection all have mistletoe as their answer, so these are also perfect for using with our other Christmas riddles.

The first four of these rhyme, while the fifth asks your kids What Am I?

To use that final idea, read the first line of it to your children and have them guess the answer. As the clue is that it’s something which is hung but which isn’t a picture, they’ll probably guess that it’s a coat or some other item of clothing.

If they don’t guess that the answer is mistletoe after this first clue, read them the clue on the second line and have them take another guess now that they have some additional information. Keep doing this until they either guess correctly or they run out of clues.

And beneath it you might kiss

Towards the end of the year
And when you stand under it
You might kiss somebody dear

Which people hang above
And then they stand beneath me
And kiss someone they love

I’m green but I’m not a coat

Airplane Riddles

By

We’re continuing our series of transport riddles for kids today with nine which all have an airplane as their answer.

The first eight of them are all rhyming riddles, with the word ‘airplane’ completing the rhyme of the eighth one.

The final 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 guess what it is that you’re describing.

As it’s something with a nose but which isn’t a dog, they’ll probably guess that it’s another kind of animal or a person. If they don’t guess that the answer is an airplane, read them the second clue and ask them to take another guess.

Keep doing this until they either guess correctly or they run out of clues.

This carries lots of people
As it’s a mode of transport
You can see a lot of these
If you go to an airport

When people board this type of transport
Into different cabins they are split
It has wings, a nose and a tail
And the pilots fly in a cockpit

This is the thing that you might take
If you’re wanting to travel abroad
A famous type of this transport
Was supersonic and called Concorde

If you travel overseas
This is the transport you might get
As it flies up in the sky
And it’s also known as a jet

Although I’m not a bird
I have wings so I can fly
I can help you travel
By jetting off through the sky

I am a mode of transport
On each side there is a wing
Some are made by Airbus
Others are made by Boeing

You might use this to go overseas
But it doesn’t have any sails
Instead it flies high up in the sky
And sometimes leaves behind contrails

~

This is something you’d board
To take you over to Spain
As it can fly you there
The answer is an _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

I have wings but I’m not a bird

Car Riddles

By

Our series of transport riddles is continuing today with nine that all have a car as the answer.

The first eight of these are rhyming riddles, with the word ‘car’ completing the rhyme of the eighth one.

The final riddle asks your children What Am I? To use that idea, read the first line to your kids and have them take a guess at what they think the answer would be. As the clue is that it’s something with seats but which isn’t a classroom, they might guess that it’s a living room, a movie theater or a train.

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