Riddles: a good entertainment

Riddles are ideal for rainy days at home , to do while waiting (for example, in a queue, in the doctor’s waiting room…) or to disconnect from technology. They are fun and also help stimulate the minds of the little ones. Check out more interesting articles on our site Fit Blog.

And it is that they not only offer you the possibility of having a good time with the family, but also encourage the logical and rational thinking of children; and even some require thinking “differently”, using imagination and creativity to solve them. Thus, with them they have fun without stopping learning .

“There is something more important than logic: it is imagination.”
