Puzzles.

Definition.

    If I were asked to name the most poetic phenomenon created by man with the help of the word, I would say without hesitation: these are riddles. But, unfortunately, we know them so poorly, and so little is the time that is allotted at school to get to know them!

    What is puzzles? If you give them the traditional short definition, then it can be like this. Puzzles- this is an allegorical image of objects or phenomena of reality that are proposed to be guessed. Indeed, for example, in enigma“The matryoshka stands on one leg, wrapped up, tangled” cabbage is allegorically represented. But, of course, under this one definition it is impossible to substitute all riddles. After all, the material that we perceive as riddles is much richer. For example, in the riddle about the river “Flows, flows - does not flow out, runs, runs - does not run out” there is no allegory, it contains a description of the river, but there is no image of an object that would allegorically remind of the river. There are other types of riddles. For example, such: “What can a person not live without?” Answer: No name. Or: “What is the softest thing in the world?” Turns out it's a hand. These are riddles that require unconventional thinking from the guesser. After all, it is necessary huge amount give one possible answer, but one with which everyone would agree. You never know, for example, without which a person cannot live! And without water, and without air, and without food. But still, an unexpected guess - "Without a name" - will satisfy, perhaps, everyone. Indeed, not only a person cannot live without water, air, food… But only people (everyone!) get names.

    This example testifies to another feature of such riddles. The answer should be original, unexpected, often causing a smile. And there are many riddles that have comic answers. Well, for example: “Which month is the shortest?” Ordinary answer: February. But the correct one is "May" (only three letters!). “What stones are not in the sea?” - "Dry".

    These types riddles could be called as follows: riddles-allegory, riddles-descriptions and riddles-questions. But there is another type riddles: riddles-tasks. They are very similar to puzzles from school textbooks except for one circumstance. Here, for example, is one of these riddles: “A flock of geese flew, towards them one goose. “Hello,” he says, “one hundred geese!” - “No, we are not a hundred geese. If there were so many more, yes half as many, yes a quarter as many, yes you, goose, then there would be a hundred of us geese. "How many geese flew?" Answer: 36 geese. The task is purely arithmetic, it requires the guessing ability to count. But there are other tasks as well. For example: “There was a hunter. I saw three crows on a tree and fired. One killed. How much is left on the tree? The "reasonable" answer is purely arithmetic: there are two crows left on the tree. But no! He killed one, and the rest flew away ... Or: “A flock of geese flew, the hunters killed one. How much is left?" Of course one is dead.

    We see that riddles-tasks, like riddles-questions, are extraordinary, they are really tests for ingenuity, they develop, activate our mental activity. And this combines riddles-questions with riddles-tasks; they undoubtedly have similarities in this with riddles-allegories, riddles-descriptions. After all, the tasks proposed in riddles-allegories and riddles-descriptions require intelligence, non-standard thinking: to see the extraordinary in the ordinary, and the ordinary in the unusual.

    Thus, all these small forms of folklore are united in their life purpose: they are of an educational nature, they contribute to the development of human mental activity. That is why we study them in school.

    However, not only the vital purpose unites these types riddles. It is impossible not to notice that they are all built on a paradox. Translated from Greek, “paradox” means an unexpected phenomenon that sharply contradicts common sense, at odds with generally accepted opinion. We have seen that riddles are built on unusual juxtapositions expected in line with common sense, the generally accepted guesses turn out to be false, and the most unexpected, but the only true ones, are correct.

    The similarity of these four types of riddles is also in their construction. The composition of all riddles without exception is two-part: the first part is a question, the second is an answer. This is very clearly seen in the example of riddles-questions and riddles-tasks. The question form is veiled in riddles-allegories and riddles-descriptions. However, the question does not have to be expressed in words. After all, the riddle existed and exists truly only in oral form, and the question can also be conveyed by intonation. In addition, the questioning nature of the first part of riddles-allegories and riddles-descriptions is indicated by the need to answer only their first part. The answer suggests the existence of a question.

    But that's where the similarity ends. Some differences have already been discussed, but we note one more important one. Riddles-allegories and riddles-descriptions differ from riddles-questions and riddles-tasks in that they are created on the basis of poetic imagery, surprise us with poetic pictures, artistic details; but riddles-questions, riddles-tasks are strong in their logic, a game not of the imagination, but of the mind. It seems that this is why in literature lessons at school a clear preference is given to riddles-allegories and riddles-descriptions. And among the people they used invariably great success. We know thousands of them, while riddles-questions and riddles-tasks are little known.

    In this way, puzzles- this is an allegorical image of objects and phenomena of reality or their description, which is proposed to be solved.

Riddles game 1.

    There are many mysteries in this book. different peoples our country - and about man, and about animals, and about birds, and about plants, and about the earth, and about the sky, and about various objects ...

    Riddles can be made to each other, but riddles can also be played together, like other games.

    That's how they play puzzles Russian guys. They gather somewhere, sit down comfortably and start playing "cities". Each takes several cities, say ten.

    In order not to forget your cities and not confuse them with others, you need to write them down on a piece of paper and keep this sheet in front of you.

    The names of the cities of the players should not be repeated. If they are repeated, confusion and disputes will begin.

    One of the players is appointed as a riddle. He must guess a dozen riddles.

    Here he comes up with the first riddle. The players take turns approaching him and quietly, so that the others do not hear, say a guess.

    Whoever fails to guess or guesses incorrectly, hands over one of his cities to the riddle.

    How do they do it? The Riddler puts a badge next to the name of the city.

    When all participants in the game have given an answer, the riddle makes a new riddle. It is guessed in the same way as the first.

    After ten riddles, they look at who has how many cities left. It happens that some of the players will surrender all their cities.

    Then a new riddle comes out and the game continues. He comes up with other riddles, and everyone guesses them. The one who guesses them.

    The one who guesses correctly receives the city that he passed.

    Then the third riddle comes out with his own new riddles, and everyone guesses them. After that, they look at who has how many cities left. The one who surrendered all his cities and failed to return them is forced to do some funny thing. This is where the game ends.

    You can “hand over” not only cities, but also animals, birds, and parts of clothing - a hat, scarf, jacket, shirt, belt, shoes.

    Riddles game 2.

    This game is called "grandmother". They play "grandmother" like this. Everyone gets in a row (you can also play while sitting). The first is a riddle.

    Many participants in the game can guess it, but the answer cannot be said aloud. Only the one who is standing or sitting next to the riddle can say the answer out loud.

    As soon as he guesses, he must make a new riddle to his neighbor. If he guesses it, he makes another riddle to his neighbor. So the riddles go along their chain to the end, and then they can return the opposite way.

    But it is not always so easy for riddles to follow the chain. It happens that someone cannot guess the riddle or answers incorrectly. Then the neighbor asks him a second riddle. I could not guess this one either - they guess the third one for him. . Well, if he doesn’t guess the third one, let him go to the very end of the row. After that, the game continues. They play as long as they can come up with new puzzles.

These riddles were invented, collected and kept by people for centuries. Those who lived in those old times people, entertainment, like fistfights between villages, and show off your mind by guessing riddles. They gathered after a hard labor day, lit a torch in the hut, and began to tell tales in turn, and guess riddles. This is how the smartest and smartest among them showed up.

Riddles - absolutely special kind folklore. This is not just entertainment, riddles train the child's mind, develop attention and memory, and teach to highlight important features of objects.

Make riddles for kids! Even if the child could not solve the riddle himself, but learned the answer from you, this is also good. It helps to look at a thing or phenomenon from the other side, enriches lexicon child. Children learn to determine the figurative meaning of words.

We used to offer small children poetic riddles, in which the answer is an easily guessed rhyme. The child often does not even delve into the meaning of the words of the riddle, but simply substitutes a rhyme. But the Russians folk riddles for children - they are rarely poetic, often it is just one sentence. But they are concise and require ingenuity.

When guessing Russian folk riddles by children, there is one nuance. Some of them use obsolete words, and some about things that modern child I didn’t see it in my eyes, or which are not ordinary (for example, felt boots: “not sewn, not cut, but all in scars”). When guessing such a riddle, be prepared, in case of difficulty for the child, to give leading questions, small hints, but do not immediately say the correct answer, do not take away the pleasure of guessing yourself.

There is a shock: Ahead of the pitchfork,
Behind the broom.

The beast is afraid of my branches,
Birds will not build nests in them.
In the branches is my beauty and power,
Tell me quickly, who am I?

There are wings, but it does not fly,
There are no legs, but you can’t catch up.

In a cramped hut
Weaving an old woman's canvas.

Who is in the forest without axes
Building a hut without corners?

(Ants)

Flying - howling
He sits down and digs the ground.

Who can go out into the open field,
Without leaving your home?

Crying in the swamp
But it does not come from the swamp.

Born twice
One dies.

awl on the front,
behind the fork,
Towel underneath.

(Martin)

Born with a beard
Nobody marvels.

Yes, the claw is sharp.

On the hay lies
Doesn't eat on her own
And he doesn't give it to others.

Fear warmly drags
And the "guard" screams warmly.

Not a tree, but a peg.
Not a cat, but a mouse is afraid.

walks in summer
And rests in winter.

(Bear)

Brawler and bully
Lives in water.
Claws on the back
And the pike will not swallow.

Who wears the forest?

A huge cat will flash behind the trunks,
Eyes of gold and ears with tassels,
But it's not a cat, watch out
Goes hunting insidious ...

Who walks in the world
In a stone shirt?
In a stone shirt
They go…

(Turtles)

And we are in the forest, and in the swamp,
You can always find us everywhere:
In the meadow, on the edge,
We are green...

(frogs)

I dig a hole day and night,
I don't know the sun
Who will find my long move
It will tell you straight away...

Instead of a nose - a patch,
Instead of a tail - a hook,
My voice is shrill and ringing,
I'm funny…

(piggy)

A giant swims across the ocean
And the mustache hides in the mouth.

I've been catching bugs all day
I eat worms.
I do not fly to a warm land,
Here, under the roof, I live,
Chick-chirp! Don't be shy!
I am seasoned...

(Sparrow)

I am in any bad weather
I have a lot of respect for water.
I stay away from dirt
Clean gray…

There are a lot of them in the summer
And in the winter everyone dies
Jumping, buzzing over the ear.
What are they called?

Under the bark of pine and spruce
Sharpens difficult tunnels.
Only to the woodpecker for lunch
Gets…

Helps us in the household
And willingly settles
Wooden palace
Dark Bronze…

(Starling)

Blacker than all migratory birds,
Cleans arable land from worms.
Jump back and forth across the arable land,
And the bird's name is...

I don't know how to count them.

Day for two
And in the evening at three?

Don't meet me.

Don't swallow.

The knuckle flogs
Wet Martin wraps up.

Two are watching
Two help.
One leads and orders.

Riddles about natural phenomena

He is everywhere: in the field and in the garden,
But it won't get into the house.
And I'm not going anywhere
As long as he goes.

And though I'm not made of glass,
I am bright like a mirror.
Who am I? Give an answer!

On the silver road
We went on a hike.
Let's stop for a rest
And she goes to herself.

Don't pick me up and lift me up
Do not cut with a saw
Do not cut down and do not drive away
Do not sweep with a broom
But the time will come for me -
I myself will leave the yard.

One walks, the other drinks
And the third is eating.

But it is not given in the hands.

Will it be yesterday?

And he knows how to draw.

No arms, no legs
And climb into the hut.

The red yoke hung over the river.

Not water and not land.
You can’t sail away on a boat and you can’t walk with your feet.

The gray cloth stretches out the window.

(Steam, mist)

I am often asked, waited,
And as soon as I appear, they will begin to hide.

Stronger than the sun, weaker than the wind,
No legs, but walking.
No eyes, but crying.

He won’t knock, he won’t bang, but he will come.

We do not know grief, but weep bitterly.

They beat me, they twist me, they cut me,
And I am silent and cry with all the good.

Lives happily.
And how to drink water -
He hisses, he dies.

He walks without touching the floor.
Whoever comes out or comes in
She always shakes her hand.

Everyone is shuffling on the floor
Hot at work.

But a strange fate -
She is afraid of water
And it always dies.

He does not blow - I blow.
But as soon as I wind
The wind blows from me.

And unfold - damn it.

They are now always with you.
Warm two sisters
They are called…

In honor of everyone
Got in the mouth -
It disappeared there.

And climb up the mountain.

No bones, no meat, no nails.

And on the back - bristles.

Brewed at the factory
Dissolved on the table.

Heavy, huge.
And now we have a road
Like a ruler, straight.

Hundreds of tons in one sitting.

And behind him the river flows.

I'm happy to work alone.

The road crumpled feather grass
He left, kicking up dust.

Cuts a black loaf

And you can't jump on it.

Overtaking birds flight.

Used to hard rules:
Finished the job and for the cheeks
Remove the steel tongue.

Without slowing down,

Will run...

No bullets, no bayonets.

So get up, get out.

And just a circle and a box.
