Riddle Inference Bureau Answer Key

This worksheet turns students into inference detectives solving ten clever riddles. Each riddle describes an everyday object or situation without naming it, requiring students to use context clues, logic, and background knowledge to infer the correct answer. The rhyming lines and playful tone make the activity engaging while still academically rigorous. Students must read carefully to pick up on subtle descriptive hints about function, purpose, and characteristics. This encourages higher-order thinking and supports vocabulary development. Because the riddles grow slightly more complex as students progress, the worksheet naturally scaffolds inference practice in an enjoyable format.
