Why is it important to do riddles, puzzles, board games, cards games, etc.?
Riddles are important because they challenge your mind to see things differently. They keep your mind active. This is my favorite riddle. Jonathan was writing a sentence. There are two periods in the sentence. How can this be? I love playing games and doing riddles and puzzles. #11
ReplyDeleteWell,I never said that riddles are important. Anyway I think it's good to make or solve riddles so you'll think out side of the box. I think sooooooo far out side the box I am not cluster phobic and the only box I can see is the one I'm typing in!! I always try to find a way not to think of the material you give me to write about. (Mainly because I need more sentences to write) It also might give you a headache. Or give the other person a headache be cause you're confusing than with your answers. Or confuse the person reading this!!

It is important to do riddles, puzzles, etc. because they help your brain. They can also help your brain to start functioning correctly again when you're really stressed. Here are a few riddles that I know, What do you call a waffle on a beach? What does a mummy sing in the shower? What runs around all day and lies under the bed with it's tongue sticking out? Where do monsters sleep on Halloween? I totally think that it is important to do puzzles, riddles, etc.

The first answer is a towel. The second answer is his horse was named Friday. I love riddles because they are so much fun. There is a riddle that goes like this. What starts with eternity, ends with space and time, and is the beginning of the end.
ReplyDeleteThe answer is kind of hard to figure out. I think riddles are awesome.

I think riddles and mazes are important because, the make your brain think harder and work harder. Plus they are fun to figure out after you were way of on thinking what the answer was. But any ways, this is my favorite riddle. Get ready, GO. When you have me you want to share me. When you share me I no longer exist. What am I? I am a SECRET. Ha Ha I know I know so funny. #22 $helbi

The first one is a towel. The second one is his horse ( heard this before ). Riddles are important because they make your brain think a lot harder and better. They also make you have a lot more fun if you are bored. Here is my riddle for you guys: For some people I run too fast, for some people I run too slow. To some people I am an obbesesion, and for some people I am used for practice, What am I? Here is a hint it goes tick tock tick tock, I am not a clock.

I think riddles are important because they get your brain moving. They also make you think outside of the box. I think this because why else would a riddle be hard to solve? Or the answer be something you wouldn't normally expect? They can even make you smarter because the answers are hard. Just like this one. What do the poor people have and the rich people need and if you eat it you die? That is why I think riddles are important. Nate #13
ReplyDeleteI think riddles are important because they make a problem that you brain has to solve! Riddles are a great way to have fun while making your brain work hard. I think riddles are great! My riddle is.A man is in his cabin in Michigan. 3 hours later he gets out of his cabin in Texas. How is this possible? This is why I think riddles are important!

PS Nate stole my riddle so i got a new one!
I think riddles are important because they make your brain think beyond the box. They make you think harder because you have to think of many different strategies to discover what you think it is. Riddles help you in real life problems such as when you go to the store and find out that it is nearly as close as the riddle, you would use the same strategy for that problem. It is amazing at what you can do at just a simple question. I like riddles. That is why I think riddles are important.

Well, to answer your questions a a towel gets wetter and wetter the more it drys and a horse that is how he did it but anyways I love riddles. They are important for you because they make your brain think beyond the border it usually stops at. Riddles are a fun way of making your brain work in a way it doesn't usually work in. I like to think of it as food for your brain to grow. If you do not try them your brain will not get food or water! A simple math question or equation can also be challenging but not always fun. Also riddles get you on edge and almost tipping over when you cannot figure them out. I love riddles and I never intend on stopping them! This why I think riddles are important for our brain! #8
ReplyDeleteI think riddles are important because they help your brain think better. I love telling riddles but I am not so good at figuring them out. I have some riddles to tell. Molly is sitting on the ground and Lucky is about to die, Lucky is surrounded by broken glass and water. Why is Lucky about to die.And why is molly sitting on the ground. Another one is a girl is in a bar she has the hiccups and asks for water. The waiter points a fake gun at her. she say thank you and walks out. why did she say thank you. harmony #28
ReplyDeleteThe best riddle I know is what does everyone have but no one can lose? Also the riddle what has a neck but no head? I believe riddles, puzzles, board games, and ect. are important because it makes a person more creative and stretches their ways of thinking. These kinds of brain games can make people more creative because a simple-minded person would answer a riddle or a question with a tedious straight-forward answer, whereas a creative person may put more thought into their answer and think of every possibility. They stretch your ways of thinking because they make you think of every possible outcome, no matter how unrealistic they might seem. Riddles, puzzles, board games, and ect. intrigue you to think more and use your brain. These types of things are important because without them the world wouldn't be as transformed and amazing as it is. Steve Jobs would have never existed meaning neither would Apple products that we all know and and love, and neither would Bill Gates, or Albert Einstein. Technology would have never existed! So this proves my point of why we need these type of brain games to help increase the creativity of others. Sydney Schulz #29
ReplyDeleteThe best riddle I know is an extremely long riddle I won't repeat. Riddles, puzzles, board games, and ext. are important learning devices. They can make you more creative and expand thinking. These types of games help children stragetize. We become smarter. Without these games, technology would have probably not have existed. The modern world would be less resourceful as it is today. Riddle, board games, and ect. are very important.

I think it's important to do puzzles and riddles because they push your thinking. They make you think of different things, and spread our minds. They're also very fun. They sometimes are interesting and funny. I sometimes like to quiz my family on riddles that I read from books. I'm not very good at coming up with them. But I love them, they are really, really fun.

I really like riddles because they help me think out of the box. Here is a riddle, if I drink I die, if I eat im fine what am I? I didn't understand that riddle the fist time but once you now it you will be like, ooohhhhhhh. Riddles are really fun to try and figure out and I really think they are great. Another riddle is, what is black, white, and red all over? overall I think rifles are very creative and helpful to our brains.

I think riddles help you think harder and harder. The more harder you think the better you get. A lawyer need to think like they are so solving a riddle in a cort. I like riddles but they are so hard for me. I got a giant book of riddles in my house, but it's all in chinese. Anyways riddles is always my favorite.

I like riddles a lot because they expand my thinking. It really is fun to stretch our minds. At first you would not get the riddle, but then you'd be all like OOOOOOHHHHHH. I love riddles a lot. I really do not know many riddles at all. So this is why I love riddles so so so much.

Riddles are fun to make your mind stretch and think. Its a great brain exspand your mind and the way we think. There are many different types of riddles like the ones that Miss. Preston posted and there are other types like brain teasters. Many different types of riddles make the brain think differently. Thats my opinion on what I think about riddles.

ReplyDeleteA riddle is a good way to make you think and stretch your mind to try harder. I know the answer to the second riddle. It was possible because Friday was his horse. Riddles are fun but can be really hard. People have told me riddles that I still can not figure out. Like in the stories to stretch minds book. I really want to know the answer about the baby in the crib one! I have even made up some riddles my self. #25
ReplyDeleteRiddles are a good way to stretch your mind and think outside of the box. I know a riddle that only a few people know it. The riddle is, your in a room no doors in a window you can't get out but all that is in the room is mirror and a table how do you get out. That one is really hard. The answer is, you look at the mirror you see a saw you grab the saw and cut the table in half and two half's make a whole so you climb through the hole and your out. Riddle are awesome but some are really hard. I am smart but I wouldn't know a answer to a riddle it if hit me. I think that riddles are a good earning source in school or just for fun. This is what I think about riddles.

I have a riddle that is pretty hard. What walks on 4 legs, then 2 legs, then 3 legs? The answer is a man. When you are a baby you walk on four legs. When you get older you walk on two. When you are elderly you need a cane. It is common because it comes from folk.

Puzzles,riddles,etc. are good for your brain. They improve your memory and are fun. If you don't do puzzles every onnce and a while you will have short term memory. What has a head and a tail, but no body? Puzzles also keep your brain working. Riddles and puzzles are great.

Riddles are really good ways to the mind. One riddle I know is. What has 2 hands a face but no legs or arms what is it. Riddles really try to stretch your mind. riddles make you think. I think riddles are important because they expand your mind.

Riddles are a great way to stretch your minds. I think riddles are a good way to stretch minds because they can help you think outside the box. Like the example it's easy to answer the question but some riddles are really really hard to answer. The riddle I know is way to hard and long to wright down because it's almost 1 and a half pages. Another reason it could be good is because it will make you think of other things that's why they should use them in school more. Matt
ReplyDeleteI think that riddles and board games are good for your brain.So here`s the riddle. If your in a box with no windows no doors and a roof only a table and a mirror, how do you get out?The answer is, you grab the mirror you see a saw you grab the saw cut the table in half 2 half's make a hole, and you jump through the hole.Another one is witch creature starts on four legs,then 2 ,then 3 and then none. the answer is a person. This is because when your a baby you crawl using your hands and your feet.Then 2 when your an a child or older because you walk on two feet.Then three because you use your two feet and a walking stick when your old. And then none because well, you will some day die.Angelica #35
