Brain-training riddles for children
These are gentle sound riddles for children.
Let’s listen closely to the sounds that appear alongside the cute illustrations.
Imagine what kind of sounds they might be and think it through.
They’re a good mental workout for adults, too.
The softly drawn illustrations are soothing!
The grandson played with a ball with his grandpa. What did they do?
The key to solving this puzzle is to think of a different way to say “ojīchan” (grandpa).
So, what word could you replace “ojīchan” with? If something immediately comes to mind, try connecting that word to a scene where he’s playing with his grandchild using a ball.
If you do that, the answer should naturally reveal itself.
If you know lots of ball games, you might also try thinking from the types of ball games.
The answer is a fairly mainstream ball sport, so you might have an “aha!” moment that leads you to the correct answer.
Can you get it? All 15 questions.
Can you guess them? Here are 15 riddle ideas.

Will 80% of people be fooled!? Trick quiz
Will 80% of people be fooled!? Trick quizzes are brain-teasing, fun puzzles that make everyone blurt out “Aha!” or “I got tricked!” without thinking.
The fun ramps up as you come up with more difficult questions.
When you have people answer, limit their thinking time and encourage them to respond as quickly as possible.
Also, when the questions or answers are simple, overthinking can actually cause people to fall for the trick.
Come up with a variety of questions to keep the excitement going.
If you didn’t get caught, you’re a genius.
Let me introduce a “Gotcha-Free Genius Quiz” that also serves as brain training for kids.
The questions are simple, but the answers are a bit twisty.
Try to think about what kind of quiz it is while you work out the answers.
You might find that answering by intuition helps you come up with the answers more quickly.
The more you try not to get tripped up, the more you might fall for the traps, right? Stay relaxed and answer with your intuition.
