We are going to have some brain-teasers today.\u00a0 These riddles are ingenuity games, where we have to answer some questions or guess some words from the given definitions. Puns and tricky sentences are commonly used in them. Riddles both entertain and stimulate the intellect, being a good tool to help children\u2019s learning. Here in Spain we call them \u201cadivinanzas\u201d, which are part of our oral tradition and often rhyme, and \u201cacertijos\u201d, written as statements or questions.<\/p>\n
