About this worksheet

Tips for using it
- 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.
