Anglo-Saxon Riddles: Student Examples Riddle #1: I am always under never above. I come in many shapes some are super sizes. If you wedge me I promise pain to you. I’m rarely seen but I’m almost always there. If you take me off you are likely bare. This riddle may be brief but I could be too. Riddle #2: I’m all different colors, shapes, and sizes. And at some time almost everyone will need me. And the person who makes me sells me. But the person who buys me doesn’t use me. And the person who uses me doesn’t know it. Riddle #3: A slow solemn square-dance Of warriors fighting One by one they fall Warriors fainting Thirty-two on sixty-four Riddle #4: A hundred brothers lie next to each other Each white and fine they’ve only one spine I am the tongue that lies between two Remove me to gather their wisdom To you Riddle #5: I’m weaved and wandering through the things that you were I come in all colors from black to white You’ll use me more when it’s cold at night I make a good hobby with a nine inch needle If I was unraveled I’d make a mess Your kitten will claw me and unroll me too Most people use me maybe even you.

Riddle #7: I stand with strength sturdy and solid Weathered or new sometimes unpolished Surrounded they stand my four-legged friends I’m the center of gatherings emotions unhinged Sometimes I’m covered with patterns and prints So, now can you guess with all my hints. Riddle #8: My work is neat My work is sloppy I am right I am left I am used by friends I am used by foes Some stick me on their ear yet I cannot hear I bleed many colors and am not judged by others. Riddle #9: I am not alive yet I move I make a small sound although I do not breathe I fly yet I stay in one place I’m hanged but I do not feel pain I have hands to point yet no fingers Riddle #10: I am round like a ball but yet as pointy as a knife Like a slave I am chained Still I am like a bird as free as the air you breathe But when I hit you at full force your air I will take When you hear me death is at hand Years ago I was a menace to all Today I hang idly by
