On this edition of Riddles, we have got something for the little ones! Dear kids,
To begin with, a riddle is a question or usually a statement that has multiple meanings and needs to be solved. Thus, riddles are thought provoking and can get your mind thinking.
And did you know, riddles can make you think in an innovative way and can increase your reading and vocabulary skills?
Now if you are a sports fan, this is a bonus for you. So buckle up your seatbelts, and get ready for some amazing riddles!
–Answers are written in inverted format at the bottom left of the image–
The first one is based on a ‘polysemy’, which means a word or a phrase having multiple meanings. And I bet you learned a new word.
Racket also means – a loud unpleasant noise.
Example: “the cats were making a racket”
For the second one, you need to think of various species of dogs.
Did you get this one?
The Boxer is a medium to large, short-haired breed of dog. They are mostly found in Germany. And are often termed as intelligent, playful, devoted, and friendly.
Do you own a dog? What is it’s breed?
Do let me know in the comments below!
For the next one, you gotta take off your hats and do some thinking.
Pretty easy right?
Do you know? Sohail Abbas, a former captain of the Pakistan hockey team, is the highest goal scorer in international field hockey with 348 international goals. Amazing. Isn’t it?
Moving on..
The next one is logical and tricky.
Think.. Think.. Think..
Tell me honestly, at first, you thought ‘First Position’ right?
That’s a common mistake.
When you pass the 2nd person in a race, you replace him/her and now you are in the second position. The first one is already ahead, and you need to pass him to achieve the first position.
I have got a hint for the next one:
“water water everywhere not a drop to drink”
You SEA.. It’s not that difficult.
(Did you see what I did there :p)
Let me give you a hint for the next one –

Fun Fact: The first bicycles were created in France, but the modern design was born in England. 5% of all trips in the United Kingdom are made with a bicycle. In the US this number is lower than 1%, but the Netherlands has it at a staggering 30%.
Now how many of you like ice skating during winters?
The next one is for you!
The word ‘crack’ also means – to make or cause to make a sudden sharp or explosive sound.’
Example: The entire group cracked up at Tom’s joke.
The next one might be a bit difficult.
Now if you get struck, think of all the things you get to see on a sea beach.
Did you know: Rowing was the first intercollegiate sport held in the U.S.
Harvard and Yale competed in the first rowing race in 1858. The race was originally held on Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire, but it has since moved to the Thames River, near New London, CT.
Think back to the Easter days, if you want to solve the next one!
That, my friend, is called a ‘pun’.
A pun is a humorous use of a word or phrase that sounds like another word.

For the last one, I will give you a hint.
