Baseball Field Riddles

By

Here are four riddles for kids where the answer is a baseball field, although a baseball stadium is also an acceptable answer. These ideas are therefore also great for using with our other sports riddles.

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

To use that final riddle, read the first line of it to your children and ask them to try guessing the answer. As the clue is that it’s something that has a plate but which doesn’t have food eaten off it, they might guess it’s the Earth (tectonic plates) or a car (licence plates).

If they don’t guess that a baseball field is the answer, read them the clue on the second line and ask them to take another guess. Keep doing this until they either work out that the answer is a baseball field or they run out of clues.

Baseball Field Riddles For Kids

This is something with a diamond
But it’s not found on a hand
It also has a warning track
And a mound where pitchers stand

I’m something with a diamond
But I’m not an engagement ring
I am where a sport gets played
And you can see a batter swing

~

This is somewhere sport is played
Where you see a ball get hit
There’s a diamond and a mound
And a player has a mitt

What Am I?

I have a plate but I don’t have food eaten off me
I have several bases but I’m not the military
I make people happiest when they get home but I’m not a dog
I have a diamond but I don’t glint
I have people on deck but I’m not a ship

Gold Riddles

By

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.

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 can be a medal but I’m not silver

Diamond Riddles

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.

England Riddles

By

Today we have six riddles for kids where the answer to each one is England.

These are perfect for using with all of our other country and geography riddles, with some of them also being good for using with other themes like food, sports and books.

The first five of them rhyme with the sixth asking your kids What Am I?

To use that last idea, read the first line to your children and ask them to take a guess at the answer. There are many countries that have a red and white flag, so if they don’t guess that the answer is England, read them the clue on the second line and ask them to take another guess.

Keep doing this until they either guess the right answer or they run out of clues.
