[For Preschoolers] Fun Riddle Collection

20 years of experience as a nursery teacher / kindergarten teacherhiyoko sensei
I’m Hiyoko-sensei, a former nursery school teacher from Hyogo Prefecture. Ever since I was five, my dream was to become a childcare worker, and before I knew it, 20 years had passed since I achieved that dream. Through singing and playing with the children, I kept working with the spirit of someone in their twenties, even as I increasingly felt my physical limits year by year (haha). From here on, I’d like to share helpful information carefully and thoughtfully, drawing on my on-site experience.

This time, we’re introducing fun riddles that are perfect for preschoolers.

It might seem a bit challenging for little ones to enjoy riddles, but with a few tweaks to how you ask the questions, they can have a great time!

By the preschool age, children start to understand words in categories like “animals” and “vehicles,” so they’ll enjoy questions that use appearances or characteristics—like “Which animal has a long nose?”

In this article, we’ve included lots of riddles that preschoolers can enjoy, so give them a try!
