For riddles, it’s best to pair them with a Short Answer activity, allowing kids to let their imaginations run wild without being restricted by set choices. To do this, simply create a question slide with any of the riddles from this listicle, then add a Short Answer button from your Inknoe ClassPoint tab.
To run the activity, go to Slide Show mode and invite your students to join your session using the class code that appears at the top of your screen. Once your students have joined, click on the Short Answer button to send the question slide to their devices. From there, they can submit their answers directly back to your PowerPoint presentation.
Once responses are in, go ahead and award stars for participant and/or correct answers!
