Fun riddles that kids will love

What do you hold while eating rice?

Something you “hold” while eating… A busy mother might hold her child while eating something safe even if it’s dropped, but normally you don’t hold anything in your arms during a meal, right? So no matter how much you think about what you could hold while eating, you won’t reach the answer.

The key to solving this riddle is to recall what you always do during a meal, and to try expressing “dakko” (to hold/hug) with a different word.

The correct answer is “ita” (board)! Because you say “ita, dakimasu”—a pun on “Itadakimasu.”
