Combine literacy, problem-solving, and geometric shape recognition with this riddle worksheet. Scholars solve 4 riddes, naming the shape described in each. Descriptions are in first person, and include a real-life look-alike. For example, "I look like a birdhouse." As an extra challenge, question 5 asks learners to create their own shape riddle for a classmate. This idea is versatile as it can be implemented with more complex shapes as students advance.
