Picture Clues

Worksheet Description

The “Riddles and Clues” worksheet is an educational tool designed to engage children in solving riddles using pictorial clues. Each riddle on the worksheet describes certain characteristics of an animal, and the child’s task is to deduce which animal it is from the accompanying pictures. This activity encourages logical reasoning, reading comprehension, and knowledge of animal traits.

For instance, one riddle states, “I have horns. I eat grass. I make milk. What am I?”, and the child must choose from images of a duck, cow, grasshopper, and ladybug. Another riddle presents the clues of a creature with a hard shell that is actually wings, prompting the student to identify which of the illustrated animals matches this description. The worksheet is designed to be both fun and educational, combining literacy skills with an introduction to basic zoology. By answering the riddles, children practice making connections between descriptive language and visual representations, a fundamental skill in early education.
