Necklace Riddles

February 2, 2016 By Stephen Pepper

Here’s a set of five riddles for kids where the answer is necklace. These are therefore perfect for using with our other riddles with a jewelry and Valentine’s Day theme.

The first four of them rhyme, while the fifth asks your children What Am I? To use that final idea, read the first line to your kids and ask them to guess what they think the answer should be.

As the clue is that it’s something which gets worn but which isn’t a pair of shoes, they might guess that it’s a T-shirt, a pair of jeans, some socks or one of many other things.

If they don’t guess that necklace is the answer, read them the second clue and ask them to guess again. Keep going until they either get the correct answer or they run out of clues.

Necklace Riddles For Kids

This is a piece of jewelry
Most often worn by girls
It’s sometimes gold or silver
And sometimes made of pearls

I am usually shiny
In a jeweler’s I am sold
I sometimes hold a pendant
I’ve a chain that’s made of gold

This is a type of common jewelry
But it is not a ring or bracelet
It is often made with a gold chain
Which holds up a pendant or locket

I am often made out of metal
But I am not made of tin or lead
I’m a type of popular jewelry
Hung on your body just below your head

What Am I?

I can be worn but I’m not a pair of shoes
I can be put on over your head but I’m not a T-shirt
I go around your neck but I’m not a scarf
I have a chain but I’m not a bicycle
I’m a type of jewelry but I’m not a ring

Heart Riddles

February 10, 2015 By Stephen Pepper

For the last few weeks, we’ve been publishing a series of Valentine’s Day riddles that you can use for fun activities with your kids.

We’re continuing that series today with several different riddles where the answer is ‘heart’.

These are therefore also good for using if planning games or activities with a human body or anatomy theme.

The first four of these are rhyming riddles, with the fourth using the word ‘heart’ to complete the rhyme.

The final one is a What Am I? riddle. To use that one, your child should read the first line and take a guess as to what they think the answer is.

If they’re not correct, they should read the second line and guess again. Keep going until they either get the right answer or run out of clues.

Heart Riddles For Kids

This part of your body
Helps keep your blood flowing
It’s used as a symbol
To say you love something

Balloons and cards and bears
Use this red shape to say
That I love you so much
Every Valentine’s Day

It’s not in your tummy
But it’s somewhere above
It is often thought of
As a symbol of love

You need to use your brain
If you want to be smart
If you want your blood pumped
You need to use your _ _ _ _ _

What Am I?

I’m red but I’m not a strawberry
I’m a shape but I’m not a square
I’m part of your body but I’m not your mouth
I’m a suit in a deck of cards but I’m not a spade
I’m used to say ‘I love you’ but I’m not a diamond

Chocolate Riddles

February 5, 2015 By Stephen Pepper

Our Valentine’s Day riddles theme continues today with some clues where the answer to each one is chocolate.

The first couple of these rhyme, with the third being a What Am I? riddle.

To use the What Am I? riddle, read your kids the first line and have them guess what they think the answer is. If they’re not correct, read them the second line and have them guess again.

Continue doing this until they either get the right answer or they run out of clues.

Chocolate Riddles For Kids

There’s white and milk and dark
These three types you might eat
As a type of candy
It really can’t be beat

It sometimes comes as a slab
And sometimes comes as a chip
And sometimes it is a bar
Or fondue in which to dip

What Am I?

I’m sometimes dark but I’m not a room with curtains
I sometimes contain peanut butter but I’m not a sandwich
I’m sometimes melted but I’m not an ice cube
I’m sometimes in cookies but I’m not a raisin
I’m sometimes a bar but I’m not made of metal
I’m sometimes a chip but I’m not made of potato

Vase Riddles

February 3, 2015 By Stephen Pepper

Continuing with our Valentine’s Day theme, here are some riddles for kids where the answer to each one is ‘vase’.

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

To use the fourth idea, your child should read the first line (or you could read it to them) and then guess what item they think is being described.

If they’re incorrect, they should read the second clue and guess again. Keep going until your kid either guesses the correct answer or runs out of clues.

Vase Riddles For Kids

I get filled with water
But I’m not a shower
It’s in me you would put
A beautiful flower

You put water inside me
But you do not need hoses
Because what else I contain
Is a bouquet of roses

This thing is a glass item
A woman fills with water
To which she adds the flowers
Someone else has just bought her

What Am I?

I’m made of glass but I don’t have people drinking out of me
I come in different shapes but I’m not a car
I have water put in me but I’m not a bath
I’m often seen on Valentine’s Day but I’m not a box of chocolates
I hold flowers but I’m not a flower girl at a wedding

Roses Riddles For Kids

A vase is what
This usually adorns
Be careful though
As it might have some thorns

This is a flower
Someone gives to you
It’s said these are red
While violets are blue

These flowers can be yellow
And sometimes orange, pink or white
But when it’s Valentine’s Day
Giving a red one is most right

These are a type of flower
That are pleasing to our noses
To someone you love you might
Give them a bouquet of _ _ _ _ _

What Am I?

I can be red, pink, yellow, orange or white, but I’m not a crayon
I smell nice but I’m not perfume
I get put in water but I’m not dirty clothing
I have a stem but I’m not a wine glass
I get seen a lot on Valentine’s Day but I’m not a stuffed animal
