"Did you understand, children?"

"Okay, can someone give the

characteristics of a riddle?"

(Teacher will call someone to

answer)

"Yes, Teacher."

“Excellent! That’s right.” "It has indirect clues."

"Did you understand our

(The teacher will attach the

pictures of animals with their
names on the board. The

by one.)

"These animals are very curious. "Yes, Teacher, we did."

Inside them, they have riddles
but they don't know the
answer. Will you help them
answer the riddles?"
