You may need to reread a riddle and prompt a student with questions that focus him/her on important information (clues) necessary to solve the riddle.

The riddles also teach the following concepts found in most state and national standards: Math—counting, shape and number recognition, recognizing and completing patterns, spatial position, more/less/equal, ordinal numbers (first, third, etc.), part/whole measurementReading Readiness—letter recognition, rhyming words, letter-sound association, letter sequence, sight words, directionalityScience—animal attributes, weather/seasons, senses, body parts, plants/plant growth, force/motionSocial Studies—family, community helpers, health and safety, identifying locationsEach riddle requires identification of two or more clues to deduce the answer. Students either point to a picture or verbalize the answer. Activities may be enhanced by teaching additional information about the animals, objects, shapes, letters, and numbers used in the riddles.
