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.
