Author's riddles
Author's riddles are riddles that are reliably written by a specific person. They do not bear a collective image, like the folklore riddles of the peoples of Rus', but belong to the pen of one of the writers or poets. Such short poetic works are republished many times in their original form, without modification, and always require the name of the author to be indicated.
Here we have posted collections of thematic riddles from famous Soviet authors: Korney Chukovsky, Boris Zakhoder and Samuil Marshak. The work of these children's writers in itself is widely known. However, parents often forget that not only reading books online develops the child’s logic and intelligence, but also the ability to solve riddles in poetic form. You can memorize such riddles by heart, like children’s poems, and ask your child to tell them to their relatives. Such training develops memory and communication skills with adults.
Riddles with rhyme are easier for a child to understand by ear and can instill an interest in writing poems on their own.
Don't neglect the different forms of self-expression and creativity available to children. Getting to know the properties of objects and the peculiarities of natural phenomena through riddles is the simplest and most exciting task.
An interesting difference between author's riddles and folk ones is that the answer comes to mind on its own - it is suggested by the rhyme. This technique is best suited for children from two years of age and older preschoolers. However, this does not exclude the possibility of becoming familiar with Marshak’s riddles at an older age, for example in elementary school, when the child is already in grades 1-2.
Each of the writers presented is unique in their approach to children's literature.
Mysteries of Korney Ivanovich Chukovsky
The riddles of Korney Ivanovich Chukovsky are considered one of the best and most beloved among other children's works of the writer. Riddles are a unique source of knowledge, as they talk about complex and serious things in a light, playful manner. All of Chukovsky’s works are written in a fairly simple style and are easily perceived even by children, because it was to them that the author addressed his poetry and riddles. The closeness of Chukovsky’s poems to children’s speech is impressive, as is the ease with which children give the correct answers. Riddles of Samuil Yakovlevich Marshak
Riddles of Samuil Yakovlevich Marshak - as a source of creative Soviet children's poetry. A feature of Marshak’s short, intricate questions is their focus on the reader’s age. Therefore, among his riddles there are descriptions of the most common objects. However, there are also non-standard problems, the answers to which are not obvious even to adults. Marshak's riddle always looks like a small work of art with a fascinating rhyme, a useful idea and significant content. Mysteries of Boris Vladimirovich Zakhoder
The mysteries of another famous writer of children's books, Boris Vladimirovich Zakhoder, have always been integrated into the author's works, and did not exist as separate works. They are much more complicated, since the author’s target audience is children of primary school age. Zakhoder's riddles are an exclusive opportunity to get acquainted with fairy-tale fantasies, expand your vocabulary, develop imagination and observation.
