Gold Riddles

February 16, 2016 By Stephen Pepper

We’re continuing our series of metal riddles today with seven that all have gold as their answer.

Some of these riddles for kids can also be used with several of our other themes, such as those about colors, jewelry and sports.

The first six of them are rhyming riddles, with the seventh asking your children the question What Am I?

To use that last idea, read the clue that’s on the first line to your children and have them guess the answer. As the clue is that it’s something that is sometimes found in a pot but that isn’t a stew, they might guess that it’s a plant, soup or tea.

If they don’t work out that you’re referring to a pot of gold, read them the clue on the second line and have them guess again. Keep going until they either work out that the answer is gold or they run out of clues.

Gold Riddles For Kids

It is something very shiny
And is a valuable metal
If you win at the Olympics
It’s the color of your medal

I’m sometimes made into a coin
And sometimes into an ingot
When at the end of a rainbow
I am what is inside the pot

Some people bite into it
But it is not a carrot
It is a precious metal
That’s pure 24 karat

I’m in many types of jewelry
Like the chain of a necklace
In the tale of Rumpelstiltskin
He could spin straw into this

If you get this kind of medal
It means that you’ve done the best
I am the kind of coins you find
In a buried treasure chest

This has been known to cause a rush
But it’s not a Black Friday sale
It’s a yellow precious metal
Weighed in troy ounces on a scale

What Am I?

I’m sometimes found in a pot but I’m not stew
I can be a bar but I’m not soap
I’ve been known to cause a rush but I’m not a Black Friday sale
I’m a type of metal but I’m not tin
I can be a medal but I’m not silver

Silver Riddles

February 11, 2016 By Stephen Pepper

Our series of metal riddles is continuing today with six where the answer is silver.

Some of these can also be used with our other chemistry, jewelry and color riddles.

The first five of these are rhyming riddles, while the sixth asks your kids What Am I?

To use that sixth idea, read the first line to your children and ask them to guess the answer. As the clue is that it’s a color but which isn’t blue, they might guess that it’s red, green, yellow or any number of other colors.

If they don’t guess that the answer is silver, read them the second clue and ask them to guess again. Keep going until they guess the correct answer or they run out of clues.

Silver Riddles For Kids

If you are an athlete
Who is running in a race
It’s the type of medal
Which you get for second place

It is a type of metal
That’s sometimes used for a necklace
It’s not gold or copper though
Ag is the symbol for this

These are the color of bells
In a famous Christmas song
It’s said clouds have this lining
Even when something is wrong

It’s often used in jewelry
As it is a precious metal
If you’re second in a race
It’s the color of your medal

This is a type of color
But it’s not yellow or blue
You’ll need this type of bullet
If a werewolf’s after you

What Am I?

I’m a color but I’m not blue
I can be a type of lining but I’m not found in clothing
I come before ‘Bells’ in a Christmas song but I’m not Jingle
I’m a type of metal but I’m not copper
I’m a type of medal at the Olympic Games but I’m not gold

Ring Riddles

February 4, 2016 By Stephen Pepper

We’re publishing some more jewelry riddles for kids today with six that have a ring as their answer.

The first five are rhyming riddles (the word ring completes the rhyme of the fifth riddle), while the sixth asks the question What Am I?

To use that last riddle, read the clue on the first line to your kids and have them guess the answer. As the clue is that it’s something round which isn’t a wheel, they might guess that it’s a clock, a coin or a ball.

If they don’t guess that the answer is a ring after you’ve given them the first clue, read them the second clue and have them guess again. Keep doing this until they either guess the right answer or they run out of clues.

Ring Riddles For Kids

In boxing I am square
On your finger I am round
I’m inside every tree
I am also a bell’s sound

I go around a cloth napkin
And inside a pierced ear
I adorn a married finger
And I’m a bell’s sound you hear

They’re something that you count
To tell how much a tree has aged
It’s something that you wear
When you’re in love and get engaged

Before you get engaged
In a small box it is carried
It is what gets exchanged
On the day that you get married

You will see two of me
When you attend a wedding
I’m not a bride and groom
But what they wear – I’m a _ _ _ _

What Am I?

I’m round but I’m not a wheel
I’m seen at a wedding but I’m not a cake
I’m often gold but I’m not a medal
I sometimes contain diamonds but I’m not a deck of cards
I can be found on a finger but I’m not a nail

Necklace Riddles

February 2, 2016 By Stephen Pepper

Here’s a set of five riddles for kids where the answer is necklace. These are therefore perfect for using with our other riddles with a jewelry and Valentine’s Day theme.

The first four of them rhyme, while the fifth asks your children What Am I? To use that final idea, read the first line to your kids and ask them to guess what they think the answer should be.

As the clue is that it’s something which gets worn but which isn’t a pair of shoes, they might guess that it’s a T-shirt, a pair of jeans, some socks or one of many other things.

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

Necklace Riddles For Kids

This is a piece of jewelry
Most often worn by girls
It’s sometimes gold or silver
And sometimes made of pearls

In a jeweler’s I am sold
I sometimes hold a pendant
I’ve a chain that’s made of gold

This is a type of common jewelry
But it is not a ring or bracelet
It is often made with a gold chain

But I am not made of tin or lead
I’m a type of popular jewelry
Hung on your body just below your head

What Am I?

I can be put on over your head but I’m not a T-shirt
I go around your neck but I’m not a scarf

Diamond Riddles

December 8, 2015 By Stephen Pepper

We have five riddles for kids today where the answer to each one is diamond.

These therefore go well with our jewelry riddles, while some of them can also be used with our other themes such as sports, shapes and toys.

The first four of these rhyme, while the fifth is a What Am I riddle.

To use that last riddle, read the first line to your children and ask them to guess the answer. As it’s something that can be cut, they might suggest grass, fingernails or paper.

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

Diamond Riddles For Kids

I am not a heart
Club or a spade
I’m put on a ring
When it is made

On a baseball field
You’ll see a mound
There is also this shape
Batters run around

I’m a type of red card
But I am not a heart
Of an engagement ring
I am usually part

I am a shape with four sides
But I am not a square
I’m also a type of jewel
Which on a ring you’d wear

What Am I?

I can be cut but I’m not a vegetable
I’m found on a baseball field but I’m not grass
I’m found on a ring but I’m not a boxer
I’m in a deck of cards but I’m not a joker
I’m a suit but I’m not an item of clothing
