Sense of humor
Perhaps the most difficult thing to explain to a child is what humor is. Really, what can make you laugh? Why do we laugh when we make mistakes? Where is the line between a good laugh and an offensive joke? You can develop a sense of humor by using funny children's riddles using ingenuity. Such tasks must have answers. After all, it is the comparison of an erroneous and a correct answer that creates cool situations in which a child from the first years learns to perceive and evaluate funny inconsistencies.

Having fun solving such riddles, children are happy to ask funny riddles to their friends and parents. And this also teaches them to joke with others in a fun, harmless, witty and useful way.
