We’re continuing our series of country riddles for kids today with five where the answer is Canada.

The first four of these are rhyming riddles, while the fifth asks What Am I?

To use that last riddle, read the first line to your children and ask them to guess the answer. As it could be any country in the northern hemisphere, there’s a good chance that they won’t guess Canada.

If they don’t get the right answer, read them the clue on the second line and ask them to take another guess. Keep doing this until they either get the correct answer or run out of clues.

Canada Riddles For Kids

This is a very large country
That has a Prime Minister as its chief
Some there speak English, some speak French
And on their flag there’s a red maple leaf

~

In this country most speak English
But you will find that is not all
As there are many who speak French
Like in Quebec and Montreal

~

Things this country is known for:
Its nice people and its geese
Ice hockey and lots of snow
And its Royal Mounted Police

~

I’m a country in the Americas
That receives a lot of snow
Cities include Vancouver and Quebec
Ottawa and Toronto

~

What Am I?

I’m in the northern hemisphere but I’m not France
I have a Prime Minister but I’m not the UK
I’m one of the largest countries in the world but I’m not China
I have a red and white flag but I’m not Japan
I have many people who speak French but I’m not Rwanda

Our new series of country riddles continues today with four where the answer is Australia.

These riddles for kids are therefore ideal for using with our other geography riddles as well.

The first three of them are rhyming riddles while the fourth asks your children What Am I?

With that final idea, read the first line to your kids and ask them to guess the answer. Knowing that they have to guess a country will help them narrow things down, but it’s unlikely that they’ll guess that the answer is Australia.

If they don’t guess correctly, read them the clue on the second line and ask them to guess again. If they don’t guess correctly on this turn, read them the third clue. Keep doing this until they guess correctly or they run out of clues.

Australia Riddles For Kids

What country has great animals
Like a large bird called an emu
A cute and cuddly koala
Or a big hopping kangaroo

~

This country’s capital is Canberra
You might go to Bondi Beach to surf
Go diving at the Great Barrier Reef
And explore Melbourne, Sydney or Perth

~

If you go to the southern hemisphere
Then you should visit this very large country
Where you might see people throwing boomerangs
And koalas eat the eucalyptus tree

~

What Am I?

I’m a country but I’m not Russia
I’m in the southern hemisphere but I’m not Argentina
I’m popular with surfers but I’m not South Africa
I’m surrounded by water but I’m not Madagascar
I’m sometimes called Oz but I don’t have anything to do with wizards

We’re starting a new series of riddles for kids this week, with each set being about a different country – our first batch today is all about France.

These will therefore also work well if you’re planning any activities about geography or teaching any lessons about world awareness.

There are five riddles here that have France as the answer. The first four of them rhyme (the word France completes the rhyme of the first riddle), while the fifth asks your kids What Am I?

To use that last idea, read the first line to your children and ask them to guess the answer. Although the clue lets them know that the answer is a country, it’s unlikely that they’ll randomly guess the correct answer.

If they do indeed guess incorrectly, read them the clue on the second line and ask them to guess again. Keep doing this until they either realize that the answer is France or they run out of clues.
