5 Bell Riddles For Kids

Bell Riddles For Kids

Shiny and metallic
But not a piece of bling
They’re there to make a noise
Shake them and they will ring

These things are made of metal
You might have lots or just a single
If you give them a good shake
The noise that they make is a jingle

~

If you hear these jingling around
The night just before Christmas Day
You had better try to get to sleep
As you are hearing Santa’s sleigh

~

They might mark the start of church
Or signal day’s end at schools
You might have one by the door
So you know when someone calls

~

What Am I?

I’m made of metal but I’m not a saucepan
I have a lip but I don’t have any teeth

I can jingle but I’m not music in an advertisement

Prick yourself at Christmas
This leaf might be to blame

When you touch a piece of _ _ _ _ _

4 Snow Angel Riddles For Kids

Snow Angel Riddles For Kids

If you lay down in white flakes
Out in the winter air
Move your arms and legs about
What is it you leave there?

It can always take away a frown
It looks just like you’re doing jumping jacks
Outside in the winter laying down

After the snowflakes have fallen
Laying in it is on my mind
Moving my arms and legs around
What is it that I leave behind?

I’m something you leave behind but I’m not litter
I’m found on the ground but I’m not a sand castle
I’m made of precipitation but I’m not a puddle
I’m made by you moving your arms and legs but I’m not a jumping jack
