Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?
I love riddles. I love taking on the challenge. However, when doing simple basic riddles, sometimes we can be made to feel that we are NOT smarter than a 5th grader. LOL
The other day I was doing some riddles with a 12 and 8 year old. I was pretty impressed how well they did. Turns out their dad does them with them. A great idea, get those problem solving skills going early and hone them as they grow. Otherwise they become like us….not smarter than a 5th grader. 😀
Ok, here are a few easy riddles to stretch your riddle muscle… Answers Below…Good Luck!
