Riddle is one of the most ancient genres of Russian folklore. The riddle is usually laconic and has the form of a question or a small quatrain. Riddles in the form of a question are most often more difficult to guess, since the child needs to understand what the question is about. we're talking about, and find the answer. Riddles for children with answers in the form of quatrains are easier to guess, since the answer most often rhymes with some line and literally lies on the surface.

Why are riddles needed?

Riddles help introduce children to the world around them: animals, plants, objects, phenomena of the surrounding world. Riddles develop a child's thinking, because they usually contain a set of characteristic features inherent in a particular item or object. Thus, the child comprehends the basics of analytical thinking, since it is necessary to analyze the material of the riddle, and among the many objects, objects and phenomena, find exactly the one that has all these characteristics.

The process of guessing itself is not only educational, but also interesting. IN game form a child can learn more because he doesn’t have to sit with boring books. The psyche of children from 2 to 9 years old is such that they cannot concentrate on for a long time, and parents find such rapid changes in their child’s mood a burden. The good thing about children's riddles with answers is that you can solve them on the way to kindergarten, on a walk, and at home.

Every day the child gets acquainted with the world around him and learns not only new words, but also perceives images. Often children’s images and verbal perception of words are at odds, so riddles can be an excellent solution for reinforcing new material. In this case, the most suitable for children will be rhyming children's riddles, which will prompt the answer. There are riddles for different ages:

• for the little ones (from 2 to 4 years);
• for older preschoolers (from 5 to 7 years old);
• for students up to 2nd grade (usually children under 9 years old);
• riddles for older children (10 years and older).

For each age, the riddles vary in complexity.

How to work?

Riddles about animals are the simplest for children. Animals surround the child everywhere: on walks the baby constantly meets dogs, pets cats, feeds birds and watches for insects. Therefore, recognizing them is not difficult.

You need to start getting acquainted with animals with riddles about pets: cat, dog, mouse. Then move on to riddles about other domestic animals that can be found in the village: horses, cows, pigs and chickens. When the child learns all the domestic animals, you can offer him riddles with answers about wild animals, such as a hedgehog, turtle, lynx, crocodile, monkey, lion, bear. The list goes on and on. It is best to introduce children to those animals that he has seen live or in pictures. For example, after going to the circus or zoo, you can start asking your child more and more riddles - verbal puzzles about a tiger, lion, wild boar or polar bear, supported by impressions, will be easier to solve and will challenge the child. positive emotions.

Some children's riddles can not only develop thinking, but also serve as excellent diction training. For example, riddles about a crocodile or a lynx. Riddles about lynx train the pronunciation of the letter r. The riddles explain how the lynx differs from other animals. Usually, riddles about the lynx are based on its differences from the tiger and cats. Sometimes children are happy to guess riddles about a lynx, but they don’t know what it looks like, so it’s better to support all the answers with pictures.

Among children's riddles about pets, riddles about horses, cats (or even a cat) are especially popular. There may also be riddles about a turtle, since some are the happy owners of these leisurely and wise pets. Riddles about a horse most often describe the main features - the mane, hooves. But the horse is not only a beautiful animal, but also fast; a horse is needed in order to ride it. Onomatopoeic elements are also well shown in riddles about a horse - the clatter of hooves and neighing.

Riddles for children about cats are more common than others, because there is a cat in almost every house. Riddles about cats, as a rule, describe the plasticity and flexibility of these animals. Children really love riddles about cats and try to show with their movements how cats behave.

Riddles about a bear and a hedgehog may be needed to teach your child about forest animals. Moreover, the bear is considered the king of the Russian forest. The king of all animals is the lion, so there are enough mysteries about the lion. In riddles about a lion, children are happy to discover the habits of cats and the cool disposition of the animal.

For younger students

Schoolchildren also like riddles about animals. It’s just that for them the level of difficulty should be higher. As is the case with children under 5 years old, children use logic and imagination, because while listening to tasks they need to create in their heads visual image, find what you are looking for and establish a connection between the found answer and the task. That is why sometimes the answers to riddles about animals for older children can be completely unexpected. Don’t rush to argue with your child and immediately give the “correct” answer. Ask him to explain why he thinks this way. This is how children learn not only to analyze, but also to defend their point of view and argue for it.

These animal riddles are great fun for kids ages 8 and up:
