Abstract

Riddles are activities that can help develop language skills for early childhood.
A riddle is a problem or question in which the questioner may ask directly or indirectly. Questions may be phrased in prose. Or there can be a rhyme in the verse language. The language used is simple and short. There will be some answers in the puzzle. It is often something that is seen in everyday life. And in some questions, there is an outline or a guideline for the answer which the respondents must observe in figuring out the answer. The nature of the riddle uses rhyming words without limiting the number of words in each paragraph. It is a short message using only words that create an image for the riddle’s answer. This makes it easy to remember and the content is often taken from things around us, such as, objects, people, animals, vegetables, plants, time, places, utensils, natural phenomena, intelligence. The author of the riddle must be observant.
The number of question texts will have the same length and shortness. There may be only one episode. Two, three, or more, but every passage is an implicit answer. Which when the answers are combined will be the nature of the guess itself. Direct questions are not commonly asked, but rather to use analogies.
