Dragon Riddles

July 21, 2015 By Stephen Pepper

We’re continuing our series of animal riddles today with many where the answer is in fact a mythical creature – a dragon.

These ideas therefore also go well with our riddles for kids about monsters and other types of scary things.

There are six riddles in total – the first five are rhyming ones and the sixth asks your kids What Am I?

To use the last idea, read your children the first line of it and ask them to take a guess at what they think you’re describing.

If they don’t guess correctly, read them the second clue and have them guess again. Keep doing this until they either guess that the answer is dragon or they run out of clues.

Dragon Riddles For Kids

This looks a bit like a lizard
Its wings help it fly higher
It is a mythical creature
That’s able to breathe fire

In The Hobbit there was one
Harry Potter had more than three
If you were to make one mad
From its mouth fire you would see

It’s a scary reptile
A giant lizard with wings
Because it can breathe fire
Great fear is what it brings

This is a legendary creature
Whose fiery breath can be quite ruthless
In movies about how to train them
The main one went by the name Toothless

There’s one that is called Smaug
Who in The Hobbit guarded gold
The fire that he breathed
Means that you would never be cold

What Am I?

I have a tail but I’m not a mouse
I have scales but I’m not a fish
I have wings but I’m not an airplane
I’m a mythical creature but I’m not a unicorn
I have fire coming out of my mouth but I’m not a flame thrower

Werewolf Riddles For Kids

If you see this hairy creature
Your first choice should always be to run
Otherwise you had better hope
You have silver bullets in a gun

If you see this when there’s a full moon
There’s a good chance you’ll feel fear
Unless you are part of Team Jacob
In which case you’ll want to get near

What Am I?

I might be seen once a month but I’m not a cell phone bill
I have lots of hair but I’m not a rock star
I hate things made of silver but I’m not an athlete competing for a gold medal
I’m a creature but I’m not a dog
I have large fangs but I’m not a vampire

And hear an unusual sound

And you dig up an old tomb
Beware this monster wrapped in linen

I’m about 8 feet tall
And have bolts in my neck

Better keep me in check

From parts of different people’s bodies
Everyone thinks I look scary though
My yellow skin makes them scream and freeze

Made out of different body parts
Brought to life by electricity
Bolts in my neck and yellowish skin
Why can’t people show me some pity

I was created by a scientific experiment but I’m not a drug
I have yellow skin but I’m not a banana
I have bolts but I’m not lightning
