Hole Punch Riddles

By

We started a new series last week with a back-to-school theme, so we’re continuing that today with a set that all have ‘hole punch’ as the answer.

The first three of these are rhyming riddles for kids, with the words ‘hole punch’ completing the rhyme of the second one.

The fourth and final one is a What Am I? riddle. With this one, read the first line to your children and get them to take a guess at what’s being described.

There are all sorts of items which are made of metal and plastic, so there’s a good chance that they won’t guess the correct answer. If that’s the case, read them the clue on the second line and get them to guess again, taking into account this additional information.

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

Hole Punch Riddles For Kids

My name sounds as though I like to fight
But you will actually find I’m kinder
Because I help with your paperwork
By ensuring it goes in a binder

~

If you need to file away paper
Then this item will help you a whole bunch
As it will make circles in each page
So it fits in binders – it’s a  _ _ _ _     _ _ _ _ _

~

If you have lots of paper
And need to keep it neat
Then use this to make the holes
So binders can hold each sheet

What Am I?

I’m made of metal and plastic but I’m not a food blender
I get pressed down on but I’m not a button
I might be found on a desk but I’m not a stapler
I cut out circles but I’m not a pair of scissors
I have paper put in me but I’m not a binder

Paper Riddles

By

Our series of school riddles for kids is continuing today with a set that have paper as their answer.

These could therefore also be used with many of our other themes such as art, office and trees.

The first four of these are rhyming riddles, with the fifth asking your children What Am I?

To use that last one, read the first line to your kids and have them take a guess at the answer. As the clue mentions something that can cut, they might suggest scissors or a saw.

If they didn’t guess that the answer is paper, read them the clue on the second line and ask them to guess again. Keep doing this until they either answer correctly or they run out of clues.

5 Paper Riddles For Kids

Paper Riddles For Kids

I do not get put on a bed
Even though I am a sheet
Instead put me in a binder
To keep your desk nice and neat

~

I sometimes have lines on me
And other times I am blank
I’m made from a cut down tree
Although I am not a plank

~

Plenty of sheets
But no bed in sight
It can cut you
But it doesn’t bite

~

What is this thing that you use at school?
In English it has horizontal lines
In Art it will usually be plain
And for graphs in Math it will have gridlines

~

What Am I?

I can cut but I’m not a knife
I sometimes have paint put on me but I’m not a wall
I come from trees but I’m not a fruit
I’m a sheet but I don’t get put on a bed
I get put in a printer but I’m not ink
