New-School-Year Resolutions

8/14/2013

It’s a new school year and now is the time for new-school-year resolutions.  Make riddles part of those resolutions! Here’s an easy way to begin. While you’re putting names on sticks to be used in your classroom, set some aside so that you can make your very own  RIDDLE STICKS.  Put a riddle on one side of the stick with the answer on the other side. Deposit them into a small basket or bag and you instantly have a reserve of riddles ready for those times when you have an extra minute or two.  You’ll be amazed at how easily you can quiet down the masses when you pull out a riddle stick. You can also use riddles as a reward when you choose a student to share a riddle with the class.  You’ll be delighted to see what your students will do to earn the privilege of asking their peers a riddle!

If you’re not a teacher, how can you use this information?   You don’t need a classroom to enjoy riddles.  Keep some riddle sticks handy to use with your children, or grandchildren, or friends, or when the next telemarketer calls and asks how you are today.  Everyone loves riddles! 

I challenge you to make a riddle resolution as you begin a new school year. Feel free to share this information with others.  There are many more practical ideas and riddles to come as the school year progresses. 

Go forth!  It’s a riddlicious world out there!
