Round Up The Vocabulary Riddles!

Happy Almost-Officially-Spring, even though another snowfall is predicted for our part of NJ today! Oh, well, even a little snow can't keep the optimistic crocuses from popping their heads up.

I'm so pleased to announce that I've finally completed the update on my Riddle Round-Up Bundle!


This bundle is now up to more than 300 themed and seasonal riddles, games for the same vocabulary, and writing templates for your students to create their own riddles.


Why use riddles?

* Riddles are a painless way to grow vocabulary (no worksheets!)

* Riddles are an effective way to model identifying key details, making inferences, and drawing conclusions.

* Riddles get your students making connections and building deeper understanding.

* Riddles are engaging, and they're FUN! Kids will beg to solve them again and again (more reading!!), and will further their learning by using the center games and riddle writing activitieis.

*  The riddle cards and activities in this set will provide you with so many activities for your centers ... literacy centers, pocket chart centers, science centers, ...



Here's a riddle from the spring set, which includes words like kite, puddle, umbrella, April Fool's Day, robin, and 15 more.  You can also get this set in Spanish or in a bundle that includes both English and Spanish spring riddles.



Here's an example from the summer riddles.




{{These two sets are also available in a Four Seasons mini-bundle here.}}

    1. Hmmm... that's an interesting one, Emily. I do have something similar, math elimination puzzles for the number 100, at my TpT store: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Riddles-for-Two-Digit-Numbers-100th-Day-of-School-Buzzin-Around-100-1662809
      Of course, now my mind is buzzing around this new idea ... :)

  6. Interesting idea, Mary! I'm thinking that set would have to have a lot of overlap with the Animal Riddles set, but it's got possibilities! Thanks!

  7. Famous Americans in History, for primary grades. Like Washington, Lincoln, Rosa Parks, MLK, etc. Kiddos tend to get facts about them mixed up, especially when they're not a current teaching topic.

    1. Oh, my goodness, they certainly do get them confused, especially with so much centered on January and February. Thanks for this great idea, Terri!

  11. I know you said you have animals already but maybe you could make one specifically for sea animals/ocean theme? You might already have one. I'm pretty sure I've seen an ocean unit in your store.
