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 a task, they need to create a visual image in their head, find what they are looking for and establish a connection between the answer found and the task. That is why sometimes the answers to riddles about animals for older children can be completely unexpected. Do not 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:
