Thank you for downloading this resource. Featured here are 32 riddle poems,
all of which contain the four sentence types in the same order (statement,
exclamation, command, question). Most examples contain possessive apostrophes
and commas used in a list sentence.
The cards are set up so you can cut them into strips and have the children fold
the answer over to hide it before quizzing each other with them. Alternatively
you could cut the answers and riddles up separately and have the children look
to match them up again (as a class or perhaps working in pairs).
