Dropping down from the sky
More beautiful than rain
There are no two pieces
That ever look the same

And it isn’t rain
But you love to see
This white stuff again

It’s made up of flakes
But it doesn’t come from corn
Way up in the clouds
Is where all these flakes are born

When it’s cold in winter
This is something you love
It’s like tiny white stars
Falling from up above

When a cold wind does blow

And have a fight with your friends
Using balls made out of _ _ _ _

You travel or hike

Penguin Riddles For Kids

My wings are used as flippers
So in water I can flow
Sometimes when on land I slide
On my belly in the snow

I’m a bird that cannot fly
I often like to swim though
And on ice is where I dry

It’s cold and icy where we live
So we have to huddle in tight
We have wings but we cannot fly
So we can’t soar to a great height

What Am I?

I’m usually black and white but I’m not a newspaper
I have wings but I’m not an airplane
I lay eggs but I’m not a chicken
I eat fish but I’m not a whale

You put a skirt around my bottom
Once I have been chopped
The other end, a star or angel
Is how I get topped

Adding some lights on a string

They can all be seen
Once they are hung up
On this evergreen

Some ornaments get hung
While in the background
Some carols might be sung

We always buy this festive plant
Can the wrapped up gifts beneath
Be opened early? No they can’t!

And I’m green
In December
I am seen
