Homemade riddles. Why are they good for a child's development?

Riddles - "homemade" riddles

These are riddles which are thought up and riddled by the child. It is necessary to teach the child not only to guess riddles, but also to think up descriptive riddles independently. In the beginning, this represents considerable difficulty for the child. For example, trying to guess a riddle about a ball, the child says, "The ball is round and blue. What is it?" But a little practice and success is guaranteed! Start by helping your child: come up with the beginning of sentence-descriptions, and let him finish and ask the question, "Who is this?" or "What is this?" You can guess and guess "homemade" riddles at home, on a walk, and in transportation. Through this game, your child will learn to analyze information and find important features and details in the surrounding things. Remember: it is the child's riddles that allow you to make a breakthrough to a new level of thinking development! Here are examples of composing descriptive riddles, with the help of an adult and using real objects and toys, or pictures

Choosing riddles of different levels of difficulty, pay special attention to the illustrations. Remember that having a picture of clues in front of the child's eyes is a serious hint. And perceiving a riddle only by ear is a much more difficult task for a child's thinking.

So, you can play with riddles not only from ready-made books and manuals. Offering a child an interesting game of riddles and clues, you can pick up riddles and illustrations yourself, as well as come up with new riddles together with your child - descriptive or short poems with simple rhymes. Develop your child's thinking and imagination with pleasure!
