Coin Riddles

By

Here are six riddles for kids where the answer is a coin, so these are great for using with our other money riddles.

The first five of them are rhyming riddles, while the sixth asks your children What Am I?

To use that final idea, read the first line of it to your kids and have them take a guess as to what they think the answer might be. As the clue is that it’s something that has writing on it but which isn’t a piece of paper, they might guess that it’s a billboard, a TV screen or a road sign.

If they don’t guess that a coin is the answer, read them the second clue and ask them to take another guess. Keep doing this until they either work out that the answer is a coin or they run out of clues.

Baseball Field Riddles

Here are four riddles for kids where the answer is a baseball field, although a baseball stadium is also an acceptable answer. These ideas are therefore also great for using with our other sports riddles.

To use that final riddle, read the first line of it to your children and ask them to try guessing the answer. As the clue is that it’s something that has a plate but which doesn’t have food eaten off it, they might guess it’s the Earth (tectonic plates) or a car (licence plates).

If they don’t guess that a baseball field is the answer, read them the clue on the second line and ask them to take another guess. Keep doing this until they either work out that the answer is a baseball field or they run out of clues.
