25 Christmas Riddles for Kids - Free Christmas Game Printable

Little riddles shorten the waiting time for Christmas – whether on the drive to the grandparents, as an activity at Christmas itself or during Advent. Our Best Of is a colourful compilation of our favourite 25 Christmas riddles for kids as a free Christmas game printable. It’s great as a Christmas game or to add to an individual Advent calendar!

Funny, tricky, simple – which Christmas riddles for kids are the best? Of course, it depends on the child or children, their age and also on what the Christmas puzzles are used for: as a Christmas game, Advent scavenger hunt or Advent calendar filling. I put them together as an entertaining Christmas game, so all the puzzles were solved one after the other and the adults only gave help when the kids had a problem. The children loved it!

You can also use the puzzles as tasks for a Christmas scavenger hunt for several children or the family. How can you do this without too much preparation? Here you will find many ingenious ideas and even more riddles for a Christmas scavenger hunt.

Christmas Riddles for Kids for a Special Advent Calendar

For an individual riddle Advent calendar for children, I recommend a colourful mix of different types of puzzles. That way, you won’t get bored. A large part of my Christmas riddles for kids are “What am I?” puzzChristmas Riddles for Kids for a Special Advent Calendarles. They are simple, small puzzles that can be solved very well by children aged 6 and older. For some of the other puzzles, adults should provide help, then these trickier puzzles will also work.

The riddles can be used wonderfully as a daily task of an Advent calendar scavenger hunt, which you have to find and solve in the house. All you have to do is cut out a puzzle every day and hide it somewhere in the house. In the morning at the weekend or in the afternoon after school, arrows on sticky notes will lead you to today’s riddle – or you can think up a little riddle about the place where it is hidden and send the child or children on a search. Once the Advent riddle has been found and solved correctly, the child or children receive a snack or a small toy as a reward.
