Double Trouble Riddles

In this worksheet, students solve riddles where each answer is a multiple-meaning word. Each riddle provides two clues that relate to different definitions of the same word, encouraging students to think critically about vocabulary flexibility. Students must use reasoning, word associations, and prior knowledge to identify a single word that fits both meanings. This activity strengthens problem-solving skills, vocabulary development, and understanding of semantic relationships. It also builds confidence in interpreting figurative and literal meanings of words used in varied contexts.
