Guessing riddles brings undoubted benefits. This is both the development of intelligence, and memory training, and a fun way to learn a lot of new things about various subjects.
Guessing riddles is a kind of test of human intelligence.
Welcome to the world of mysteries, where so many incredible discoveries lurk!
Puzzles.
Definition.
- If I were asked to name the most poetic phenomenon created by man using words, I would say without hesitation: these are riddles. But, unfortunately, we know them so poorly, and the time allotted at school to get to know them is so short!
What is it puzzles? If you give them traditional short definition, then it could be like this. Puzzles- this is an allegorical image of objects or phenomena of reality that are proposed to be guessed. And in fact, for example, in riddle“The matryoshka stands on one leg, wrapped up, tangled,” cabbage is allegorically represented. But, of course, all mysteries cannot be subsumed under this one definition. After all, the material that we perceive as riddles is much richer. For example, in the riddle about the river “It flows, it flows - it will not flow out, it runs, it runs - it will not run out” there is no allegory; it contains a description of the river, but there is no image of an object that would allegorically remind of the river. There are other types of riddles. For example, such as: “What can’t a person live without?” Answer: "No name." Or: “What is the softest thing in the world?” It turns out it's a palm. These are riddles that require extraordinary thinking from the guesser. After all, it is necessary to give one out of a huge number of possible answers, but one with which everyone would agree. You never know, for example, what a person cannot live without! And without water, and without air, and without food. But still, the unexpected answer - “Without a name” - will probably satisfy everyone. Indeed, not only humans cannot live without water, air, food... But only humans (everyone!) receive names.
This example demonstrates another feature of such riddles. The answer should be original, unexpected, and often causing a smile. And there are many riddles that have comic answers. Well, for example: “Which month is the shortest?” The usual answer: “February.” But the correct one is “May” (only three letters!). “What stones are not in the sea?” - “Dry.”
These types riddles could be called this: allegory riddles, description riddles and question riddles. But there is another type riddles: riddles-tasks. They are very similar to problems from school textbooks, if not for one circumstance. For example, here is one of these riddles: “A flock of geese was flying, one goose met them. “Hello,” he says, “a hundred geese!” - “No, we are not a hundred geese. If only there were so many more, and half as much, and a quarter as much, and you, goose, then there would be a hundred of us geese.” “How many geese were flying?” Answer: “36 geese.” The problem is purely arithmetic and requires the guesser to be able to count. But there are other tasks. For example: “A hunter was walking. I saw three crows on a tree and shot. I killed one. How many are left on the tree? The “reasonable” answer is purely arithmetic: there are two crows left on the tree. But no! He killed one, and the rest flew away... Or: “A flock of geese was flying, the hunters killed one. How much is left?" Of course, one was killed.
We see that riddles-tasks, like riddles-questions, are extraordinary, they are really tests of intelligence, they develop and activate our mental activity. And this combines riddles-questions with riddles-tasks; they undoubtedly have similarities in this with riddles-allegories, riddles-descriptions. After all, the tasks proposed in allegorical riddles and descriptive riddles require ingenuity and non-standard thinking: to see the extraordinary in the ordinary, and the ordinary in the unusual.
Thus, all these small forms of folklore are united in their vital purpose: they are educational in nature and contribute to the development of human mental activity. That's why we study them at school.
However, it is not only life purpose that unites these types riddles It is impossible not to notice that they are all built on a paradox. Translated from Greek, “paradox” means an unexpected phenomenon that sharply contradicts common sense and diverges from generally accepted opinion. We have seen that riddles are built on unusual comparisons, expected in line common sense According to the generally accepted opinion, the answers turn out to be false, and the most unexpected, but the only correct ones, are correct.
The similarity of these four types of riddles lies in their construction. The composition of all riddles without exception is two-part: the first part is the question, the second is the answer. This is very clearly seen in the example of riddles-questions and riddles-tasks. The question form is veiled in riddles-allegories and riddles-descriptions. However, the question does not have to be expressed in words. After all, the riddle existed and truly exists only in oral form, and the question can also be conveyed through intonation. In addition, the interrogative nature of the first part of allegorical riddles and description riddles is indicated by the need to answer only their first part. The answer suggests the existence of a question.
But that's where the similarities end. Some differences have already been discussed, but let us note one more important one. Riddles-allegories and riddles-descriptions differ from riddles-questions and riddles-tasks in that they are created on the basis of poetic imagery and surprise us with poetic pictures and artistic details; But riddles-questions, riddles-tasks are strong in their logic, a game not of imagination, but of the mind. I think this is why in literature classes at school there is a clear preference for allegorical riddles and descriptive riddles. And they always enjoyed great success among the people. We know thousands of them, while riddles-questions and riddles-tasks are little known.
Thus, puzzles- this is an allegorical image of objects and phenomena of reality or their description, which is proposed to be solved.
Riddle game 1.
- There are many mysteries in this book different nations our country - about man, and about animals, and about birds, and about plants, and about the earth, and about the sky, and about various objects...
You can tell each other riddles, but you can also play riddles together, like other games.
This is how they play puzzles Russian guys. They gather somewhere, sit down comfortably and start playing “city”. Each takes several cities, say ten.
In order not to forget your cities and not to confuse them with others, you need to write them down on a piece of paper and keep this piece of paper in front of you.
The names of the cities of the players should not be repeated. If they are repeated, confusion and disputes will begin.
One of the players is appointed as a riddler. He must ask a dozen riddles.
Here he asks the first riddle. The players take turns approaching him and quietly, so that others do not hear, they say the answer.
Whoever fails to guess or guesses incorrectly hands over one of his cities to the riddler.
How do they do it? The riddler places an icon next to the name of the city.
When all participants in the game have given the answer, the riddler asks a new riddle. It is guessed in the same way as the first one.
After ten riddles, they see who has how many cities left. It happens that some of the players surrender all their cities.
Then a new riddle comes out and the game continues. He comes up with other riddles and everyone guesses them. The one who guesses them.
The one who guesses correctly gets the city he passed.
Then the third riddle comes out with his own new riddles, and everyone guesses them. After that, they look at who has how many cities left. The one who surrendered all his cities and failed to return them is forced to do some funny thing. This is where the game ends.
You can “surrender” not only cities, but also animals, birds, and parts of clothing - a hat, scarf, jacket, shirt, belt, shoes.
Riddle game 2.
This game is called "granny". This is how they play grandma. Everyone stands in a row (you can play while sitting). The first one asks a riddle.Many participants in the game can guess it, but the answer cannot be spoken out loud. The answer can only be said loudly by the one standing or sitting next to the riddler.
As soon as he guesses, he must ask a new riddle to his neighbor. If he guesses right, he asks his neighbor another riddle. So the riddles follow their chain to the end, and then can return the other way.
But riddles do not always follow the chain so easily. It happens that someone cannot guess the riddle or answers incorrectly. Then the neighbor asks him a second riddle. He couldn’t guess this one either; they guessed a third one for him. . Well, if he doesn’t guess the third one, let him go to the very end of the row. After this, the game continues. They play as long as they can come up with new riddles.

The history of the riddle A long time ago, even when people were afraid of nature, it seemed to the ancient hunter, farmer and cattle breeder, that there are good and evil beings everywhere. In the forest - Leshy, in the river - Vodyanoy, Mermaids, in the hut - Brownie. People then thought that trees, fish, and birds all understood human language. And people in those days, when going hunting, fishing, or simply going into the forest with their herd, tried not to utter out loud those words that were connected with the success of the upcoming task. And in order to deceive the beast and understand each other, hunters, fishermen and shepherds came up with a special “secret” language, a special “mysterious” speech.

Here, for example: “Laughs downwards, cries upwards.” The solution is simple: the bucket is in the well. But it is so subtly noticed that the empty bucket goes down and creaks, as if laughing, and as it goes up, it splashes water, as if crying.

The house is full of grain,
The walls are gilded
The shutters are boarded up.

On a golden trunk.

How many little black houses,
So many little white residents.

It's round, but not the moon,
Green, but not an oak forest,
With a tail, but not a mouse.

- Is it black?
- No, it's red.
- Why is she white?
- Because it's green.
What were they talking about?

Tastes like honey
Red as blood.

Covered with a patch.

Shaking his beard.

Golden mountains grow in the summer.
I threw one away and took a whole handful.
Riddles about animals

I'm knocking on wood:
Every corner of it
I want to explore.

And the acrobat is wonderful.

There's a broom behind.

Builds a hut without corners?

Golden eyes and tufted ears,
But it's not a cat, look out, beware
The insidious one is on the hunt...

In a stone shirt?
In a stone shirt
They're walking...
(Turtles)
And we are in the forest, and in the swamp,
You will always find us everywhere:
In a clearing, at the edge of the forest,
We are green...
(Frogs)
I dig a hole day and night,
I don’t know the sun at all
Who will find my long move,
He will immediately say that this is...
Instead of a nose - a snout,
Instead of a tail - a hook,
My voice is shrill and ringing,
I'm funny…
(Piglet)
A giant swims across the ocean
And he hides the mustache in his mouth.

I am in any bad weather
I respect water very much.
I'm staying away from the dirt
Clean gray...

And in winter everyone dies out,
They jump and buzz in your ear.

Sharpenes complex tunnels.
Only to the woodpecker for lunch
It hits...
Helps us with the farm
And willingly settles in
Your wooden palace
Dark bronze…
(Starling)
Of all the migratory birds,
Cleans arable land from worms.
Jump back and forth across the arable land,
And the bird's name is...

And although I'm not made of glass,
I am bright like a mirror.
Who am I? Give an answer!
Along the silver road
We went hiking.
Let's stop for a rest
And she suits herself.

And the third one eats.

They often ask me, wait for me,
But as soon as I appear, they will start hiding.
Stronger than the sun, weaker than the wind,
There are no legs, but he walks.
No eyes, but crying.

Lives happily.

Their names are...

No bones, no meat, no nails.

And on the back there are bristles.

Heavy, huge.
And now we have a road
Like a ruler, straight.

Hundreds of tons in one sitting.

With friends and sisters
She comes to us
Stories, lead new ones
Brings it in the morning.
There is a road - you can’t go,
There is land - you can’t plow,
There are meadows - you can’t mow them,
There is no water in rivers and seas.
Although not a hat, but with a brim,
Not a flower, but with a root,
Talking to us
With a patient tongue.

He tells the whole hundred:
Then sit down and study,
Then get up and go away.

And just a circle and a box.

It doesn’t decrease in the beds,
And it arrives in my head.
