Tire Riddles

By

Here are six riddles for kids where the answer for each one is ‘tire’.

These ideas are therefore perfect for using with our other riddles that have a transport theme.

The first five of these are rhyming riddles (with ‘tire’ completing the rhyme of the fifth), while the sixth asks What Am I?

To use the final riddle, your kids should read the first line and take a guess as to what they think the answer is.

If they’re incorrect, have them read the second clue and guess again. Keep going until they get the correct answer (or they run out of clues).

Goes round and round
Made of rubber
It’s on the ground

To travel far
If one of these goes
Flat on your car

A bicycle has a pair
A car has four of these things
And they are all filled with air

Once it has been created
Front and back and left and right
They should all be inflated

Your situation could be dire
If when you bring your car to a stop
You find you don’t have a spare _ _ _ _

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.
