In order for the child to develop correctly, to be able to reflect and correctly express his thoughts, he needs to read books, explain the meaning of various proverbs, sayings, riddles. Let us consider in more detail what a riddle is.
Riddle - subject and properties
A riddle is an expression with which you need to guess a certain object. At the same time, it emphasizes the important features of this subject. For example: if some vegetable or fruit is made up, then in the riddle itself its certain property is surely emphasized: onion - “makes you cry”, cabbage - “many clothes” and so on.
Riddles develop ingenuity, logic, thinking, so it’s important for a child not only to guess, but to invent them himself.
Let's look at an example of what riddles about stone are for children . First you need to give a definition to the concept, to explain what it represents.
Stone is a rock characterized by hardness.
Riddle about the stone
Stones are different: precious and non-precious. About each of them you can find a riddle in books or come up with it yourself. For instance:
- Though it’s not a bird, but flies, it gets into the eye - the lantern lights up.
- This stone even though, beckons with tender greens, is called ... (malachite).
- What it is? In the mountains there are many, different in shape, small and large, but solid. So as not to interfere, it must be removed from the road.
- And the water will not soak it, and the fire will not take it, easily any knife will sharpen.
- What stone is in the water? (Wet)
There is still a mystery about this rock (not for a children's audience), about logical thinking:
A stone lies on the shore. An eight-letter word is written on it. When a rich man approached him, having read this word, he began to cry. The poor man approached - he began to rejoice. And when lovers read this word, they parted. What a word was written there. Answer: the word "temporarily." Although the riddle is not about the stone itself, it is involved in the process.
The importance of material in everyday life
The appearance of puzzles about this rock is no coincidence. After all, it is an important part of many processes. It is used in the construction of various buildings and structures. It is also used in decorating walls, floors, building facades, arches and so on.
It is not surprising that the word "stone" is found not only in riddles, but also in
sayings, tales, and proverbs.For example: water does not flow under a lying stone, a stone on a soul, a stone on a stone, and others did not remain.
Thanks to such statements, children begin to understand the basic properties of stones. And this helps them to develop a common outlook.
