I'm back on the blog! Sorry it's been so long. I have retired from regular classroom teaching and for the past couple of years have been substitute teaching. A copy of Hooked on Riddles resides in my sub bag of supplies and I still have a true respect for the power of the riddle! Now that I teach all grades from Kinder to 5th grade, I get to see how young minds of a wide range of ages react to riddles. Kids of all ages love riddles. It's as simple as that.
I've had parents who have a copy of Hooked on Riddles tell me that they like to share a daily riddle with their kids, in lunch boxes, through emails when they have to travel, in the car on the way to soccer practice, etc. I must admit, it gives me a sense of pride and satisfaction to know that my book has been a resource for parents who enjoy sharing riddles with their youngsters. The underlying bonus in all this is the fact that these parents have also helped their youngsters become better thinkers while giggling through their riddle sessions.
Interestingly enough, there have been some older folks who have told me that they enjoy sharing riddles at get-togethers with their friends. One friend told me that she takes a couple of riddles from the book to her weekly session of "Bridge" with her friends. Her friends all love to be the first one to come up with the answer!
Therefore, I plan on sharing some summertime riddles in this blog so that you may pack some riddles in your bags as you set out on your summer adventures, whether that includes some road trips to the beach or just some fun time around the pool. It doesn't matter how old you are. Riddles are good fun for all!
Let's make it a riddlicious summer!
