We’re continuing our series of riddles with a food theme this week, with today’s set having ‘tortilla’ as an answer.

The first couple of them are rhyming riddles, with the third asking What Am I?

To use the What Am I? riddle, your children should read the first line and guess what they think is being described.

If they’re not correct, they should move on to the second clue and guess again. Keep going until they guess the right answer or run out of clues.

Tortilla Riddles For Kids

Ground beef, sour cream, guacamole
Rice, pinto beans and cheese
To finish making a burrito
They’re wrapped in one of these

~

I’m often eaten with salsa
When I’ve been cut up and fried
When you get a quesadilla
I am what forms the outside

~

What Am I?

I’m round but I’m not a steering wheel
I can be a type of chip but I’m not found in a computer
I’m sometimes called a wrap but I’m not an item of clothing
I can be made of corn but I’m not a breakfast cereal
I’m part of a burrito but I’m not ground beef

We’re continuing our series of food riddles today, with this collection all having an answer of ‘rice’.

Five of these rhyme, while the final one is a What Am I? riddle. If you don’t know how What Am I? riddles work, here’s a quick explanation:

Read the first line of it to your kids (or have them read it themselves). They should then guess what it is that they think is being described.

If they don’t give the right answer, read them the second clue and have them guess again. Keep going until they either work out that you’re describing rice or until they run out of clues.

Rice Riddles For Kids

Sometimes at weddings
This food is thrown
A paddy field
Is where it’s grown

As part of a main meal
I can also be Krispie
In a breakfast cereal

This grain is a staple food

And served up in a dish

Along with some raw fish

~

There are many types of this food
Wild, brown and white to name a few
Before it ever reached your plate
A paddy field is where it grew

~

What Am I?

I can be brown or white but I’m not a loaf of bread
I can be sticky but I’m not a glue stick
I originally came from China but I’m not a panda
I grow in a field but I’m not corn
I’m used in sushi but I’m not a fish

Today brings another set of riddles for kids with a food theme, with the answer to all of these being ‘egg’ or ‘eggs.’

Four of these cracking riddles are rhyming ones, while the last one hopefully won’t scramble their brains when asking What Am I?

To use the What Am I? riddle, read the first line to your children and have them take a guess at what they think you’re describing.

If they’re not right, read them the second line and have them guess again. Keep doing this until they work out that you’re describing an egg or until they run out of clues.

If you’re planning all kinds of egg-related activities, here’s an outdoor game that’s great for using with a group of kids.

Egg Riddles For Kids

I’m sometimes decorated
Using paint or with a pen

And I get laid by a hen

And its shape is an oval

Before he fell off a wall

You might get a chick inside
Otherwise they are eaten
Scrambled or boiled or fried

A chicken’s one can be quite small
