Learning to think outside the box
Children encounter their first children's riddles with a trick in fairy tales. From the age of 3-4, children are attracted to heroes who answer tricky questions, show ingenuity and resourcefulness, looking for ways to achieve a goal. The children involuntarily think about the answers and gradually comprehend the logic of reasoning, learn to look outside the box and evaluate familiar phenomena and objects.
An important role in such children's discoveries is played by the development of speech, awareness of the polysemy of words, direct and figurative meaning. This is how funny riddles with a trick quietly develop, teach and educate a child.
In your future life, the ability to think outside the box will allow you to find original solutions and ways out of difficult situations. This will give you the opportunity to be more confident and successful. And in combination with a subtle sense of humor, resourcefulness will certainly bring success both in the profession and in your personal circle.
Imagination
By developing ingenuity and intelligence, we form not only logical thinking, but also imagination. And the first helpers in this are riddles with a trick for children. Solving them does not require extensive knowledge: the answer is found through logical thinking and building an associative series. This is how we develop our imagination. Having presented a logical answer, we understand the absurdity of the decision. And that’s when logic and attention come in and help solve the riddle.
Trick riddles for children with answers require a word - an answer in rhyme. This is the catch: in content and logic, the answer should be completely different. The cunning tricks of these riddles force you to give an answer that matches the rhyme, which turns the content into a funny confusion. Such cool children's games create casual, funny situations when children perceive the game as entertainment without an overriding educational element.
