Skis Riddles

By

Today we have a few riddles for children where the answer is ‘skis’.

These are therefore perfect for using with some of our other riddle themes like snow, winter, sports and transport.

The first three of these are rhyming riddles, with the third one being completed by the word ‘skis’, while the final one asks your kids “What Am I?”

To use the What Am I riddle, have them read the first line (or read it to them yourself) and get them to guess what the answer is.

If they’re not correct, move on to the second line and guess again. Keep going until they either guess correctly or they run out of clues.
