[Easy] Riddles for Middle Schoolers

What is a ball that’s square, even though it’s still a ball?

Speaking of balls, they’re one of the tools used in ball sports, right? When you picture a ball, most of you probably imagine a round sphere.

However, since the question in this quiz says “square,” we need to look for a square ball.

Let’s forget about balls used in sports for a moment and think of something square that includes the word “ball” (booru) in Japanese.

If you’re an elementary school student, you’ve probably seen it at home or used it for crafts.

The correct answer is “danbooru” (cardboard).

What kind of shellfish is a shellfish that’s taking a bath?

Speaking of shellfish, many of you have probably eaten clams, turban shells, or abalone at least once.

Some of you may have gone clam digging, caught and eaten shells yourselves, or searched the beach for shells to use as craft materials.

Here’s a riddle about shellfish.

We usually think shells live in the sea, but apparently they’re in the bath, too.

However, since this is a riddle, thinking about the biology or types of shellfish won’t help.

Start by taking “kai” as the keyword and associating it with things or words related to baths.

The answer is attakai (warm)!

What is something that doesn’t decrease no matter what you eat?

What is something that doesn’t get smaller no matter what you eat? Right now, all sorts of foods are probably popping into your mind: rice balls, sandwiches, apples, tangerines, sweets… There are so many edible things, but once you eat them, they’re gone, right? In other words, if you focus on the food when thinking about this question, you won’t get the right answer.

It’s a trick question, so you need to look at it from a slightly different angle.

The correct answer is “your mouth.” It certainly eats anything, but it’s the food that diminishes—the mouth doesn’t get smaller!

What is something you can move easily but can never lift?

When you hear that something is easy to move, you probably imagine something small or light that’s easy to carry.

But in this riddle, it says it’s something you absolutely can’t lift.

What could it be? First, think of something you can move yourself.

It’s something everyone has, and even if you go outside with nothing but the clothes on your back, it naturally follows you.

Among those, think of something you can’t lift.

The answer is “your shadow”! You can easily make it move by moving yourself, but you can’t hold it in your hand, so you can never lift it.
