Double Meaning Dash

This worksheet features riddles whose answers are multiple-meaning words. Students write the answer on each line and then explain both meanings aloud or in writing. The activity sharpens reasoning skills, understanding of polysemous vocabulary, and ability to interpret clues. Students use critical thinking to connect two different definitions to one word. This supports richer vocabulary knowledge, mental flexibility, and confidence in navigating ambiguous language.
