Riddles for 8 Year Olds — Page 18

Cluck cluck, I walk in a coop, Roasted or fried, I’m a dinner troupe. Wings or drumsticks, legs or breast, With barbecue sauce, I’m at my best.

Hint: Think of a bird that doesn’t fly far.

What force and strength cannot get through I with a gentle touch can do, And many in the street would stand were I not a friend in hand.

Hint: What force and strength cannot get through I with a gentle touch can do…

• I sit in a bun, a frank on the grill,
• I’m named like a pet, but I’m a meal still.
• No furry tail, no wagging so sweet,
• Just mustard and ketchup for a tasty treat.

Hint: You can buy me at a ballpark.

• I have four straight sides.
• My opposite sides are equal.
• I am like a stretched square.
• You see me in books, screens, and buildings.
• What shape am I?

Hint: It’s not a square; two sides are longer.

• I start green, then turn yellow, finally brown,
• Peel my coat for a soft white crown.
• Inside, no pit, just creamy delight,
• Monkeys love to take a bite.

Hint: I’m a long curved fruit often in bunches.

Spiky crown on a sweet gold core, Tropical treat I’m hardcore. My name combines a conifer and an orchard treat, But I grow from a plant, not a tree sheet.

Hint: Think of a prickly, sweet fruit.

When cut crosswise, I’m a five-point star, Yellow and waxy, from places afar. Sweet and tangy, a tropical bite, My name suggests I shine bright.

Hint: Think of a celebrity fruit.

Deep purple, red, or yellow skin, A juicy flesh that’s filled within. Stone in the middle, hard and round, In a clafoutis, I’m profound.

Hint: Think of a plum fairy.

Tropical smooth, with orange-yellow flesh, In a salsa or smoothie, I’m fresh. Slice me up, a sweet sensation, My name is a combination with no relation.

Hint: Man + go = ?

Sticky and sweet, I come from the palm, Dried or fresh, a chewy calm. In the desert I grow, a treat so great, But my name’s what you set with a mate.

Hint: You might go on one with someone.

Bits of fruit in a syrupy pool, In a cup or bowl, it’s cool. Cherries, pears, peaches abound, A cocktail that’s safe all around.

Hint: It’s not an alcoholic drink, just fruit.

Three meanings in one, can you guess? A flightless bird, a fruit’s fuzzy dress. Also a people from islands afar, What three-in-one word carries this star?

Hint: three meanings

Soft and velvety, a rosy hue, Bite into me, nectar for you. Watch out for the stone, it’s big and hard, In cobblers and jam, I’m a yard.

Hint: Georgia’s famous fruit.

I’m empty space in a slice of white, The more you eat, the more I’m in sight. I’m not the crust or the fluffy part, Just a gap that’s light as a lark.

Hint: a void in food

What gets wetter the more it dries?

What gets whiter the dirtier that it gets?

I’m a tiny beetle with a secret light. I twinkle in the bushes at night. Catch me gently in a jar, then let me go, So I can keep putting on my starry show.

Hint: You see me in the backyard around June and July.

What goes around the world and stays in a corner?

What goes into the water black and comes out red?
