What should be the riddles

It is clear that complex riddles are somewhat different from simple logical questions. It is necessary to think over the program of a developmental lesson with such tasks in advance so that the process goes smoothly and without a hitch. The hardest riddles should be:

• With a trick.
• Are ambiguous.
• The kind that deserves a lot of thought.
• Difficult riddles should be selected according to the age of the child. This will help boys and girls find answers according to their level of knowledge. It follows that kids should not make very difficult riddles; for the smallest, it is better to choose questions with a trick. For older children, you can choose questions such as for adults.
