Riddle Diddle Little Brittle

Hello you, Yes,
you!  
ARE YOU TIRED OF LEARNING ENGLISH THROUGH TEXTBOOKS?
TAKE A SECOND TO PLAY riddles!

I do understand that learning English through textbooks could be tiring sometimes, so I decided to make learning English more fun by creating language games and what could be more fun than riddles?

Now, what are riddles? A riddle is a phrase, a sentence or sentences with figurative meanings that hint to an answer. For example,

What is orange and sounds like parrot?
The answer is carrot. (Because it is orange and the word carrot ends with ‘rot’ like the word par-rot)

A riddle is a type of brain game to test a person’s comprehension skill. English learners can greatly improve their comprehension skill through answering riddles.


What is more interesting about riddles is that it helps you to learn English while having fun. It keeps your mind engaged in a creative and critical thinking and problem solving skill without emphasizing on the academic aspect of language learning. The fun thing is you never knew that you are learning when you are playing riddles. Check out the riddle below.

What has a neck but bo body?
The answer is a bottle.
