carriede Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 DH found some easy riddles online and asked about 10 of them to DS6. We were surprised at how well he answered (some correct, others nearly correct) and how easily he thought through the puzzles. Are there any books or resources that would help develop this thinking? Logic, critical thinking, creative problem solving, just a book of riddles? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiden Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I don't know of any resources but I'm interested too. Where did your husband find the ones online, if you don't mind saying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertflower Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Yes, I'd like to know where you got your riddles from too. I like Dr. DooRiddles from the Critical Thinking Company. There are different levels. An example of A1 is: I'm orange and in a glass, Upon a breakfast table; And I do rhyme with Bruce, But I don't rhyme with Mabel. What am I? Is that what you are looking for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porridge Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 These aren't exactly riddles but my 7 and 5 year old really enjoyed them. They are a series of books: Stories to Solve, More Stories to Solve, Even More Stories to Solve. I forget who the author is, but Peter Sis is the illustrator. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Katy Hall has some fun riddle books. You might check your library as many are out of print. Here's one that's in print ~ Turkey Riddles (Easy-to-Read, Puffin) Also consider searching for brain teasers. Regards, Kareni 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
readwithem Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Bennet Cerf's Book of Riddles is probably OOP based on the "new from" price on Amazon. :huh: Check your library. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea! He started with knock knock jokes, so he probably just Googled for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
