Recommendations from child experts on how to play with riddles

🔸 Gradual introduction: from 3 minutes, continue regularly extending by 1-2 min per session
🔹 At the beginning, no daily exposure to riddles. Best – 2-3 times a week, bi-weekly, once a month. It all depends on current attention span of the child and how many cards the child works through at one sitting
🔸 The younger the child, the more guiding sessions with an adult. Typically “Riddles 18+ Months” would involve assistance from grown-ups
🔹 The ring-bound mechanism allows detaching cards and breaking them into smaller bundles. This way, toddlers have shorter sessions, are not distracted by too many pages ahead. As a result, shorter bundles maximise quality of learning
🔸 Keep rotating
🔹 Once the majority of the riddles grasped well, offer the full booklet for independent play. It can stay in a permanent library, as a part of weekly rotations on bookshelves, or only be taken during trips. The important thing is to provide consistent breaks in between rotations.
