Honey Riddles

By

Here are six riddles for kids where the answer is honey, so these are perfect for using with our other food and nature riddles.

The first four of these are rhyming riddles, with the word ‘honey’ completing the rhyme of the fourth, while the fifth is a one line riddle that also contains a rhyme.

The sixth idea is a What Am I riddle. To use that final one, read the clue that’s on the first line to your kids and ask them to try guessing the answer. As the clue is that it’s something that’s a liquid but which isn’t water, they might guess that it’s dishwashing liquid, soda or orange juice.

If they don’t guess that honey is the answer, read them the second clue and have them guess again. Keep going until they either realize that the correct answer is honey or they run out of clues.
