About this worksheet
Eight Christmas riddle cards: a present, a star, a Santa hat, a candy cane, a candle and more. Cut out the 8 cards; each answer is printed upside down at the bottom, with a small picture, so kids can quiz a friend. A free color printable for 1st grade and up. First graders can read it on their own and ask for help only with the trickier words. Red, green and gold make a classic Christmas palette.
Tips for using it
- Add white for snow.
- Read the riddle twice: the first time for fun, the second time to look for the trick word.
- Ask "what else could that word mean?" when a riddle seems impossible.
- Let your child be the riddle master and read riddles to you; reading aloud to an audience builds fluency.
Printing tips
Download the PDF for the sharpest result and print at 100% (or “fit to page” on A4). The PNG is 300 DPI, which is handy for tablets and coloring apps. This page is free for personal, family and classroom use.
