Almost all kindergarten children like to solve puzzles. It is not only interesting, but also informative. Thanks to this “charge for the mind,” non-standard, abstract thinking develops. Riddles about the Earth are in great demand among adults, since they can be composed on the go for a kid of any age.
For 3-5 years
For kids of this age, it makes no sense to make too complicated and abstruse riddles about the Earth. The only thing they know about her at this age is that they walk on her, people live on her or plants grow on her. Therefore, especially zealous in making puzzles is not worth it. As an example, you can use the common template "What four times a year changes clothes?". Riddles about the Earth can be poetic:
Blue ball
Our home is home.
My beloved planet
Your favorite
Called ...
On the whole, the child should not have problems with solving, even if he still does not quite well understand what the Earth is.
For younger students
Modern children already know quite well what space is. Or at least roughly imagine what it is. And riddles about the Earth (with answers), where the Earth acts as a space object, they like. For example, here's a plan:
No beginning, no end
No nape, no face
He only knows young, but old -
That she is a huge ball!
About what planets are, children of primary school age know, therefore, it will not be difficult for them to find the answer to such a riddle. And for those who have already studied all notes in music or singing lessons, one can ask the following question: “Which planet has a note hidden in the name ?”. Riddles about the Earth can be more complicated. The main thing is for the kids to be able to solve them themselves, focusing on what they have already learned in the lessons at school. For example, "I feed all the white light, although I myself do not eat anything." In classes around the world, they usually already talk about how Mother Earth gives people food without demanding anything in return.
Puzzles for high school students
Those who are in grades 7-8 know a lot. And the riddles about the Earth for children in this case may already be more complicated: "One watered, the other drinks water, the third grows and grows stronger (rain, earth, plants)", "The richest in the world, but not a man", "Freshly dressed greenery streets, parks, forests and fields. Everything is drowning in the seas of sunlight ... "," Her name is her mother, although she has not given birth to anyone. "
There are a lot of such cunning, but rather simple puzzles. The main thing is that children do not lose interest by scrolling through complex sentences and metaphors.
Versatile puzzles
For example, they include guessing games in the form of poems or prose, but on some general topics. About the world or natural objects. Riddles about the sun and the Earth are very popular, so they are usually loved and often used. For example, such:
Golden balloon
Stopped above the water
Swaying over the river
Yes behind the horizon hid (the sun).
It is important that it is easy for children to solve such puzzles, otherwise they will be disappointed in the game and will not be active. Another example is the following:
Round like a ball
Hard, but not steel.
Dark but not dirt
It’s spinning, but it’s not a children’s yule.
So who is she? (Earth as a planet).
Thematic riddles
There are questions that only in meaning relate to the theme of the Earth, but other objects, things or phenomena can be the answer to them. An example is the following riddle:
You do not go there yourself
After all, there is neither land nor water,
You won’t go through the legs
Yes, you can’t swim on a boat.
The answer here is a swamp. Children will have to think before solving the riddle correctly. And this develops logical thinking. To the "land" theme can be attributed space riddles. For example, this:
Around the big little twinkle
Running little sons, but two daughters.
Years, weeks, days will pass -
They will never meet again.
The answer here will be planets revolving around the sun, which really can never meet each other. Or, as a riddle-question, one can ask this: "On which space object is water and oxygen?". Since the Earth is the only planet where this is, it will be easy for children to solve, but interesting. You can add visualization of answers. For example, in the form of pictures where a guess will be depicted.
