Why Do People Use ‘Riddles’ to Teach Children?

Riddles are like little puzzles that make learning fun. Imagine you're playing a game where the answer hides in the question, that's what riddles do! They help kids think creatively, use their imagination, and learn without even realizing they’re studying. For example, if someone says, 'I speak without a mouth and hear without ears,' your brain starts working to guess what it is, a echo!
