Riddle PoemsRead the riddle and try to guess
what the object is!
Hint: They are all things you can PLAY!
Poems are from Betsy Franco’s 201 Riddle Poems to Build Literacy (Scholastic, 2000)
Over my head
And under my feet,
The rope twirls around,
As I jump to the beat.
What am I doing?
I am jumping rope!
I climb the ladder,
And then sit down.
Whoosh! I’m swishing
to the ground!
What am I doing?
I am sliding on a slide!
Draw the squares
In white or black.
Throw a stone
Hop up and back.
What am I doing?
I am playing hopscotch!
I;’m “it.” I chase you-\
One, two, three.
I try to catch
the friends see.
What am I doing?
I am playing tag!
Home run,
Single, double, too.
You hit this ball
and catch it, too.
What am I?
I am a baseball!
Swoosh!
It’s going through the hoop.
The happy crowd
Lets out a whoop.
I’m playing…
I am playing basketball!
