Use Riddles in the Classroom

Classroom riddles are great as a short break between lessons, as a morning warm-up, or as a fun way to end a work session. The teacher can read a riddle aloud, let students think for a while, and then discuss the answer in pairs or with the whole class. This makes the activity easy to use both as a brain break and as a fun way to practice language, logic, and creative thinking.
