My First Riddle
Poetry Competition
Reception
Get imaginations fired up in no time!
This fun competition encourages younger pupils to use their senses and imagination to create their own original riddle. Your child can write their riddle on any theme, from their favourite book to people, places or animals.
If your child is creative they don't have to use a template, they can write their own freestyle riddle poem! There are also 5 templates to choose from, should you prefer to give your young writer one of these.
If you haven't got a printer, don't panic! You're welcome to help your child write out their poem and send us a photo instead!
