Japan Riddles

October 8, 2015 By Stephen Pepper

We’re continuing our series of country riddles today with five that all have Japan as the answer.

The first four of them rhyme, with the fifth asking your kids “What Am I?”

To use the What Am I riddle, read the clue on the first line to your children and have them guess the answer.

There are quite a lot of countries that are made up of several islands, so if they don’t guess that the answer is Japan, read them the second clue and have them guess again.

Keep going until they either guess the right answer or they run out of clues.

One thing this country is known for
Are people who tend small bonsai trees
And in the first half of the year
Cherry blossom blowing in the breeze

~

This is an Asian country
Whose capital is Tokyo
They have a red and white flag
And some wear a kimono

~

I’m made up of thousands of islands
And my highest point is Mt. Fuji
I’m well known for my fast bullet train
Haikus, sumo and Hello Kitty

~

In this country if you need food
You might go and eat some sushi
And if you want to have some fun
You could sing some karaoke

~

What Am I?

I’m a country made up of many islands but I’m not Greece
I have a red and white flag but I’m not England
I’m in Asia but I’m not Indonesia
I have popular cuisine but I’m not China
I’m where you might sing karaoke but I’m not South Korea

Scotland Riddles

October 6, 2015 By Stephen Pepper

Our series of country riddles continues today with four where the answer is Scotland.

The first three of them are rhyming riddles for kids, while the fourth asks the question What Am I?

To use that final option, read the first line to your children and ask them to guess what they think the answer is. There are quite a few countries with a blue flag, so they may not guess Scotland.

If they do guess incorrectly, 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 Scotland or they run out of clues.

I’m a country in Europe
My highest peak is Ben Nevis
I am known for my tartan
Tasty shortbread and haggis

~

Am I a part of Great Britain?
The answer to that question is yes
My capital is Edinburgh
And I have a monster in Loch Ness

~

Their national symbol is a thistle
And their flag is blue with a cross that’s white
If you visit you might hear bagpipes
And a man in a kilt is quite a sight

~

What Am I?

I have a blue and white flag but I’m not Finland
I’m in Europe but I’m not Greece
I have a famous monster but it’s not Bigfoot
I’m part of Great Britain but I’m not England
I’m well known for my bagpipes but I’m not Turkey

China Riddles

October 1, 2015 By Stephen Pepper

Here are four riddles for kids that all have China as their answer.

These are therefore perfect for using with all of our other country riddles or if you’re planning any geography activities for children.

The first three of them rhyme, while the fourth asks your kids What Am I?

To use that last riddle, read the first line to your children and have them guess what they think the answer is.

They may not know their flags well enough to know which ones have five stars on them, so if they don’t guess that China is the answer, read them the second clue and have them guess again.

Keep doing this until they either give China as the answer or they run out of clues.

Canada Riddles

September 29, 2015 By Stephen Pepper

We’re continuing our series of country riddles for kids today with five where the answer is Canada.

The first four of these are rhyming riddles, while the fifth asks What Am I?

To use that last riddle, read the first line to your children and ask them to guess the answer. As it could be any country in the northern hemisphere, there’s a good chance that they won’t guess Canada.

If they don’t get the right answer, read them the clue on the second line and ask them to take another guess. Keep doing this until they either get the correct answer or run out of clues.

5 Canada Riddles For Kids

Canada Riddles For Kids

This is a very large country
That has a Prime Minister as its chief
Some there speak English, some speak French
And on their flag there’s a red maple leaf

~

In this country most speak English
But you will find that is not all
As there are many who speak French
Like in Quebec and Montreal

~

Things this country is known for:
Its nice people and its geese
Ice hockey and lots of snow
And its Royal Mounted Police

~

I’m a country in the Americas
That receives a lot of snow
Cities include Vancouver and Quebec
Ottawa and Toronto

~

What Am I?

I’m in the northern hemisphere but I’m not France
I have a Prime Minister but I’m not the UK
I’m one of the largest countries in the world but I’m not China
I have a red and white flag but I’m not Japan
I have many people who speak French but I’m not Rwanda

Australia Riddles

September 24, 2015 By Stephen Pepper

Our new series of country riddles continues today with four where the answer is Australia.

These riddles for kids are therefore ideal for using with our other geography riddles as well.

The first three of them are rhyming riddles while the fourth asks your children What Am I?

With that final idea, read the first line to your kids and ask them to guess the answer. Knowing that they have to guess a country will help them narrow things down, but it’s unlikely that they’ll guess that the answer is Australia.

If they don’t guess correctly, read them the clue on the second line and ask them to guess again. If they don’t guess correctly on this turn, read them the third clue. Keep doing this until they guess correctly or they run out of clues.

4 Australia Riddles For Kids

Australia Riddles For Kids

What country has great animals
Like a large bird called an emu
A cute and cuddly koala
Or a big hopping kangaroo

~

This country’s capital is Canberra
You might go to Bondi Beach to surf
Go diving at the Great Barrier Reef
And explore Melbourne, Sydney or Perth

~

If you go to the southern hemisphere
Then you should visit this very large country
Where you might see people throwing boomerangs
And koalas eat the eucalyptus tree

~

What Am I?

I’m a country but I’m not Russia
I’m in the southern hemisphere but I’m not Argentina
I’m popular with surfers but I’m not South Africa
I’m surrounded by water but I’m not Madagascar
I’m sometimes called Oz but I don’t have anything to do with wizards
