Riddles
Guessing riddles is fun, and you can do it anywhere. Use this activity to stimulate
your mind and your funny bone.
Activity
You could have one activity night where all you do is tell riddles or you could
intersperse riddles throughout several activity nights. Riddles can also be fun when you
are traveling.
Many riddle books are available at bookstores and libraries. Get some for your family
and let family members take turns telling riddles. You could even create some riddles of
your own, if you have that special talent. Listed below are some Bible riddles that you
