Riddles and jokes are an ideal way to get kids laughing while helping to get their brains thinking at the same time. To get you started, we compiled a list of some great autumn riddles and jokes for kids.
There are lots of fun ways to use these riddles and jokes during the fall season. One of our favorite uses is to create fall greeting cards using the riddles by writing the question on the front of the card and placing the punchline inside.
Start with paper in fall colors and add decorations with markers or attach fall leaves with a glue stick.
However you decide to use them, we hope you’ll have fun! Be sure to also check out our big list of Halloween Riddles and Jokes for Kids!
