Riddles for Kids Worksheet: Exhibit Riddles, Number Riddles and Write Your Own
Children read short riddles closely, test each clue against a word bank (two words are extras), and underline the clue that gave the answer away. Number riddles use clues about size, even or odd and digit sums to find one number. Finally they write a riddle about an object at home.
