Little Riddlers will help your 4 to 7 year-olds learn to write riddle poems, which is guaranteed to help them learn to love poetry!

They'll learn the structure of a riddle, the 6 things needed to create a successful riddle poem and we're provided examples to help inspire them.

It's easy to tie in with your current topic or why not be inspired by summertime, favourite things or even storybook characters!

[Rules] =>
