Leaf Riddles

November 15, 2016 By Stephen Pepper

Here are eight riddles for kids where a leaf is the answer. These are therefore perfect for using with our other tree, fall and nature riddles.

The first six of these are rhyming riddles, while the seventh is a one line riddle that also contains a rhyme.

The eighth and final one of these ideas is a What Am I riddle. To use that one, read the clue that’s on the first line to your kids and ask them to try guessing what they think the answer might be. As the clue is that it’s something that can be blown but which isn’t a bubble (think leaf blower), your children might guess that the answer is a whistle, a candle or a kiss.

If they don’t guess that the answer is a leaf, read them the second clue and have them take another guess. Keep doing this until they either work out that a leaf is the answer or they run out of clues.

Leaf Riddles For Kids

Leaf Riddles For Kids

This thing is usually green
But it’s not a plate of peas
On the flag of Canada
There’s a maple one of these

~

This thing’s not a human body
But it often has some veins
It falls from a deciduous
On evergreens it remains

~

I’m sometimes big
And sometimes small
In the autumn
You see me fall

~

I am something that’s thin and flat
On a branch I can be found
When I’m from a deciduous
In the fall I’m on the ground

~

This is something that’s often green
Because of photosynthesis
You might turn over a new one
And it is part of a lettuce

~

Trees have many in the summer
But in winter they might have none
And there’s a certain phrase that says
You can turn over a new one

~

Out in nature I can be seen, I don’t fall from an evergreen

~

What Am I?

I can be blown but I’m not a bubble
I drop but I’m not a tear
I come in different shapes but I’m not a snowflake
I come in different colors but I’m not a cellphone
I come from a tree but I’m not an apple

Sunflower Riddles

May 3, 2016 By Stephen Pepper

We’re continuing our series of flower and plant riddles today with five ideas where the answer is a sunflower.

The first four of these rhyme, with the word ‘sunflower’ completing the rhyme of the fourth one.

The fifth one of these is a What Am I riddle. To use that one, read the clue that’s on the first line to your kids and ask them to take a guess at the answer.

As the clue is that it’s something yellow but which isn’t a banana, they might guess that it’s a rubber duck, a school bus, a lemon or The Beatles’ submarine.

If they don’t guess that a sunflower is the answer, read them the clue on the second line and have them take another guess that takes into account this new information. Keep going until they either correctly guess that the answer is a sunflower or until they run out of clues.

Lavender Riddles

April 26, 2016 By Stephen Pepper

We started a new series last week where all the riddles are different types of plants or flowers.

We’re continuing that series today with some rhyming riddles for kids that have lavender as their answer. To be honest, we struggled to come up with ideas for this one, so there are only a few riddles for lavender below!

Lavender Riddles For Kids

Lavender Riddles For Kids

I am the color purple
But am I a movie? Nope!
I am a type of flower
Sometimes used as scent in soap

~

Its color is a type of purple
And it is a type of flower
It is sometimes the scent of products
That you might use in the shower

~

You might see this purple flower
Growing in fields in Provence, France
Is it in your bath products?
It’s commonly used so there’s a chance

~

I am a purple flower that you might smell in the shower

Mistletoe Riddles

April 21, 2016 By Stephen Pepper

We’re starting a new series today where we’re going to be publishing lots of riddles for kids about different types of plants and flowers.

Today’s collection all have mistletoe as their answer, so these are also perfect for using with our other Christmas riddles.

The first four of these rhyme, while the fifth asks your kids What Am I?

To use that final idea, read the first line of it to your children and have them guess the answer. As the clue is that it’s something which is hung but which isn’t a picture, they’ll probably guess that it’s a coat or some other item of clothing.

If they don’t guess that the answer is mistletoe after this first clue, read them the clue on the second line and have them take another guess now that they have some additional information. Keep doing this until they either guess correctly or they run out of clues.

5 Mistletoe Riddles For Kids

Mistletoe Riddles For Kids

This is a type of plant
That you might see at Christmas
It’s hung above your head
And beneath it you might kiss

~

This is a green plant you see
Towards the end of the year
And when you stand under it
You might kiss somebody dear

~

I’m a plant seen at Christmas
Which people hang above
And then they stand beneath me
And kiss someone they love

~

When you stand under this, then you will get a kiss

~

What Am I?

I get hung but I’m not a picture
I’m green but I’m not a coat
I’m a plant but I’m not mint
I’m seen in December but I’m not a Christmas tree
I encourage people to kiss but I’m not Cupid

Shamrock Riddles

February 17, 2015 By Stephen Pepper

It’s not long until St Patrick’s Day, so our next few sets of riddles will all be related to that theme – here are the rest of our St Patrick’s Day riddles.

To kick us off, here are some riddles where the answer is ‘shamrock’. The first two of these rhyme, while the third idea asks What Am I?

To use the third riddle with your kids, read them the first line and ask them to guess what they think it is that you’re describing. If they’re incorrect, read the second clue and ask them to guess again.

Keep going until they get the right answer (or until you run out of clues to give them).

And decide to fly over

I’m seen on St Patrick’s Day but I’m not a leprechaun
