Mrs. McGowan's First Grade: Animal Riddles

Animal Riddles 2003
Mrs. McGowan's First Grade
Spring Lake, NJ

The study of living things is an important part of our first grade curriculum. This is such an interesting topic for young children! We used books, magazines, the Internet, videos, and our own experiences to learn more about plants and animals.

Creating animal riddles is a fun way to show what we have learned. Read the riddle and select an answer. Good luck! You can see all the animals in a slide show when you're done.

Have some fun now and try to guess the animals!
