Kids love them. I show one clue at time using the document camera. They write their guess on white boards. As more clues are shown, they adjust their answers accordingly.

I sure am, Michelle! I'm assuming that you got the Autumn freebie pack, too. If you click on "Riddles" under my categories on the seller's page, you'll see several others, too... alphabet and 100 riddles for the 100 chart.
Thanks for your encouraging words. I always love to hear about it when kiddos enjoy one of my resources!
