Ice Cream Riddles

December 20, 2016 By Stephen Pepper

Here are seven riddles for kids where the answer is ice cream. These ideas are therefore perfect for using with all of our other dairy and food riddles.

The first six of these riddles rhyme, while the seventh is a What Am I riddle.

To use that final riddle, read the first line of it to your kids and ask them to try guessing what they think it is that’s being described. As the clue is that it’s something that’s frozen but which doesn’t need a blanket, they might guess that it’s a snowman, a pizza or an ice cube.

If they don’t guess that ice cream is the answer, read the second clue to your children and have them take another guess. Keep going until they either realize that the answer is ice cream or they run out of clues.

Ice Cream Riddles For Kids

In a bowl you use a spoon
On a cone you give a lick
This frozen dairy dessert
Many flavors you can pick

~

I am something you can eat
But I’m not a bowl of soup
I am a frozen dessert
You can get out with a scoop

~

I am something that’s frozen
But which you would choose to lick
I’m sometimes sold from a truck
Which when moving plays music

~

This thing might taste of chocolate
Or maybe strawberries
It is a dairy dessert
Made by Ben and Jerry’s

~

I am found in a freezer
Rather than a chiller
I come in many flavors
Including vanilla

~

This can come as a sandwich
And it can sometimes come in bars
It’s also sold in cartons
By companies like Haagen Dazs

~

What Am I?

I’m frozen but I don’t need a blanket
I come in different flavors but I’m not a pizza
I can be licked but I’m not an envelope
I sometimes come as a bar but I’m not soap
I sometimes have a cone but I’m not a dog

Apple Riddles

March 22, 2016 By Stephen Pepper

For the last few weeks we’ve been publishing a series of fruit riddles. We’re continuing that series today with six that all have an apple as the answer.

The first five of these rhyme, with the word apple going in the missing space of the fourth riddle.

The sixth of these 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 the answer.

As the clue is that it’s something that has skin but which isn’t a person, they might guess that it’s an animal, a banana or a potato.

If they don’t guess that the answer is an apple, read them the second clue and ask them to try guessing again. Keep doing this until they either guess that an apple is the answer or they run out of clues.

To get another fruit
Put it after pine

I can be peeled but I’m not a potato
I’m a fruit but I’m not an orange
I grow on trees but I’m not a banana
I’m usually red or green but I’m not a grape

Strawberry Riddles

March 17, 2016 By Stephen Pepper

Today we’re continuing our series of fruit riddles for kids with four where the answer is a strawberry.

The first three of them rhyme, with the word ‘strawberry’ completing the rhyme of the third riddle.

The fourth asks your children What Am I? To use that idea, read them the clue that’s on the first line and have them take a guess at what they think it is that you’re describing.

As the clue is that it’s something red that isn’t a stop light, they might guess that it’s a pepper, a rose, a London bus or a heart.

If they don’t guess that it’s a strawberry, read them the clue on the second line and have them take another guess. Keep going until they either realize that a strawberry is the answer or until they run out of clues.

I am a fruit that’s red
That’s often used in a smoothie
I’m bought in a punnet
And made into jam and jelly

In small pieces which have been dried
I am a common fruit that is red
With many seeds on the outside

But I am not a cherry
I’m used in milkshakes, yogurt, ice cream
And jam – I’m a _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

~

I’m red but I’m not a stop light
I’m sweet but I’m not an M&M
I’m sometimes in a jam but I’m not a car during rush hour
I’m a fruit but I’m not an apple
I’m often a flavor of yogurt but I’m not a raspberry

Pineapple Riddles

March 15, 2016 By Stephen Pepper

Our series of fruit riddles continues today with four where the answer is a pineapple.

The first three of them are rhyming riddles for kids, with the word ‘pineapple’ completing the rhyme of the third one.

The fourth idea is a What Am I riddle. To use that one, read the first line of it to your children and ask them to guess the answer. As the clue is that it’s something with hard skin but which isn’t a rhinoceros, they will probably guess some other animal like an elephant.

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

Lime Riddles

March 10, 2016 By Stephen Pepper

For the last few weeks we’ve been publishing a series of fruit riddles. We’re continuing that series today with some more riddles for kids where the answer is a lime.

The first three of them rhyme (with the word ‘lime’ completing the rhyme of the third one), while the fourth asks your children What Am I?

To use that fourth idea, read the clue that’s on the first line to your kids and have them guess the answer. As the clue is that it’s something the size of an egg but which isn’t a pebble, they might guess that it’s a hamster, a candlestick holder or a small bar of soap.

If they don’t guess that a lime is the answer, read them the second clue and ask them to try guessing again. Keep doing this until they either work out that it’s a lime that you’re describing or they run out of clues.
