A large selection of riddles with answers for the most fun and intellectual entertainment with children. Plunging into a “mysterious” world where fantasy and reality intersect, adults forget about everything in the world and turn back into children, and children learn to find the right solutions hidden in the most ordinary words. It's no secret that children's riddles help your child's development.
Riddles for children are different. You can hold home quizzes on holidays and weekends with your family. Such activities can include riddles about food, animals, birds and insects, as well as trick riddles.
One of the famous psychologists of our time said that riddles make you think. Of course! A riddle, or a small funny quatrain that explains a word, influences the formation of a child’s worldview, develops intelligence, logic, imagination and attention, and reaction speed.
How to choose children's riddles?
Children's riddles should be exciting, funny, and a little difficult so that the child does not immediately guess. Children are naturally curious. They will enjoy riddles for children to test their wits. You should not accept the child’s defeat until the last moment, even if he asks for an answer. Better offer him a prize if he solves the riddle himself.
Beyond seriousness, among encrypted answers, mysteries and secrets, a game of imagination begins, during which the logical, associative and creative thinking of children develops.

Riddles play a significant role in the development of memory and thinking in 6-year-old children. With the help of these quatrains, the preschooler develops his imaginative thinking, uses logic and imagination. According to many psychologists, it is one of the few activities that can make a child think. But in order for riddles not to turn from an exciting game into a mediocre activity, when choosing, you should adhere to the interests of the child, his abilities and age. We have selected riddles for children 6 years old on various topics that will be most interesting to a child of this age.
What riddles should I choose for 6-year-old children?
- Age appropriate
Some riddles are simply not appropriate for a child’s age: they may be too boring and uninteresting for him, or, on the contrary, too complicated for the child’s mind. I think you will agree that the riddle “Who says moo-moo and plucks the grass?” for a 6-year-old child it would seem like bullying. And riddles about subjects that he can only understand at school can cause overstrain and will be more harmful than useful.
- Responsive to the interests of the child
At this age, kids love cartoons. He will absolutely love riddles, the main character of which will be his favorite panda from Kung Fu Panda, etc. In addition, the preschooler is already well versed in the names of the days of the week, months and seasons. He will enjoy questions about animals, bugs and birds. If a holiday is approaching, this is a great opportunity to prepare riddles for this topic, for example
- Funny riddles
At the age of 6, trick riddles can make a child laugh. These are rhymes that deliberately force the child to answer incorrectly due to broken rhyme. Usually the questioner demands a quick answer from the child. When reading, the quatrain is written to rhyme with the incorrect answer, but with a similar meaning. They force the child to think before giving a spontaneous answer to a question.
- Speed riddles
It’s good to organize an evening of riddles between all family members or with the child’s friends to maintain the competitive spirit. The guys will try to answer as quickly as possible, and this helps develop their ingenuity. However, if, then it is better to refrain from speed riddles. Such kids don’t really like to jump out ahead of everyone with the answer, and sometimes they need time to carefully think about the answer, sometimes double-check it in their heads. Introverts are afraid of giving the wrong answer and being ridiculed by other children, so they do not volunteer to answer and take their time, although they have already had the correct answer in their head for a long time.

Children actively and constantly seek answers to everyday “What?”, “Why?” and the decisive “Who will I be tomorrow?” Solving riddles comes naturally to them. Riddles will help them in their development, in understanding their inner and surrounding world.
Riddles differ in structure and thematically. The themes of the riddles are related to different aspects of the Universe. That's why thematic groups There are a lot of riddles (winter ones, about animals, about professions). Among the structural groups, there are 9 main ones, which will be discussed in the table.
| Riddle type | Peculiarities | What is being developed | Example |
| riddles-descriptions | the characteristics of the object are listed | logical thinking, the ability to describe the subject, argue your position (choosing words accurately); the ability to see connections between objects and perceive the world as a whole | He whistles, makes noise, plays And bends the trees How will you let me into the house? Everything will be destroyed in him. (Wind) |
| riddles-descriptions containing unique characteristics of an object | There must be at least 1 unique features (characteristic only for the clue item) | the ability to notice the unique features of an object; the ability to highlight the main points in texts; attention | They live in rivers and lakes Their eternal work is tireless, They build from twigs and trees Strong huts that will save you from predators! ( Beavers) |
| riddles with description-negation | list the characteristics of an object, specifying what (who) it is not | attentiveness; analytical skills | It flies, but not a bird, In winter he sleeps, but not a bear, It's buzzing, but not a mosquito. ( Fly) |
| riddles with hints | indicate the letter with which the answer begins; the answer rhymes with the line of the verse | logical thinking | At the beginning of the word is the letter "s" And the “n” comes at the end. He comes quietly at night, His name is so simple -...( Dream) |
| riddles-metaphors | the subject is not described directly, but using metaphors | imaginative thinking; fantasy; | What kind of house is this? That there are no walls or windows in it - only a roof, and on the roof - bread and bowls of borscht. (Table) |
| riddles based on metaphor-paradoxes | signs that contradict each other are listed (in figurative form) | imaginative thinking; analytical thinking | Without hands and paints, but draws boldly, Creates patterns skillfully! ( Freezing) |
| riddles-rhymes | short riddles with a rhyming solution | logical thinking | A bee sat on a flower, Collects for us...( Nectar) |
| trick riddles | a rhyming answer suggests itself, but there’s a catch: it’s wrong | attentiveness; sense of humor | Rushing through the trees Little red-haired fox ( Squirrel) |
| riddles for ingenuity | What is important is not knowledge and experience, but a sharp mind, quick wits, and intuition | intuition; fast response; out-of-the-box thinking | How to stir tea correctly: with your left or right hand? ( Spoon) How many ends do 2 sticks have? What about 3? What about 3 and a half? ( 4, 6, 8 ). |
- Riddles-descriptions. By solving them, the child not only answers, but also proves the correctness of the answer. The child is introduced to the clue subject in advance (they are told and shown). They voice the riddle expressively, highlighting the most important things in their voice. You can give your child a proof plan (in the form of several questions or unfinished sentences).
- Riddles-descriptions containing unique characteristics of an object. Children reproduce the riddle and point to a unique feature from the list.
- Riddles with description-denial. First, children are taught to understand the structure of riddles (by talking through the logic of solving them). They use diagrams (for example, with crossed out pictures).
- Riddles with additional clues. They are read expressively. When solving riddles, children give a complete, reasoned answer.
- Riddles-metaphors. These are difficult riddles, so the first few can be solved with leading questions.
- Riddles based on metaphor-paradoxes. First, they use hints (leading questions, reasoning out loud).
- Rhyming riddles. Rhyming answers come to mind on their own, but the children give reasons for the answer.
- Trick riddles. Children compare the incorrect rhymed answer with the correct one and draw conclusions.
- Riddles for ingenuity. If children are working with this type for the first time, you can help them (tips, leading questions). They give riddles of different structures to challenge your ingenuity.
How to choose riddles for children
Riddles for children with answers become real games. In order for a child to enthusiastically take up solving riddles and love these exercises, you need to know some subtleties.
For example:
- Choose fun, funny riddles.
- The text succinctly and dryly presents only the information necessary for solving (funny, albeit uninformative, additions are allowed).
- Choose age-appropriate riddles (theme, complexity of images, metaphors). The youngest (preschoolers) love riddles about nature (about birds, insects, animals). Little schoolchildren love to “solve” cartoon characters and fairy tales.
- If a child solves simple riddles easily and quickly, the tasks are gradually made more difficult.
- Children love riddles that challenge their wits.
- If a child cannot quickly solve the riddle on his own, you should not immediately give the answer. A hard victory is more appreciated.
- If the answer is not given to the child, leading questions will help. Hints should not lead too close to the solution.
- The child can select riddles independently for team competitions (it is useful to remember them).
- Riddles-verses are easier to remember, contribute to the development of expressive correct speech, and develop memory.
- You can select small rewards related to the theme of the riddle.
- It is worth showing your child the maximum variety of riddles: they select different topics and types of tasks. You can devote one day to one topic.
- The themes of the riddles can be selected depending on the location of the lesson. If at home, choose riddles about household items (after solving the solution, you can show the item). If there are riddles in the park about natural resources, about the animal world. On the river - about aquatic inhabitants.
- Studying one object, process, phenomenon, they select riddles that reveal it with different sides.
- The first ones simple riddles make a wish up to 3 years When a child just learns to speak, he learns about the world. They sound like a question: “Where is the nose?”, “What does the dog say?” Logic-descriptive riddles are given to children aged 3 years and older.
Riddles with illustrations will make the solving process even more fun.
