Marshak's riddles for children
Marshak's children's riddles in style largely imitate what is used in folk riddles. However, unlike the latter, the hidden objects are not related to nature, living beings, humans, but to the technical component of our lives: Marshak took the simplest things used in everyday life (iron, hammer, saw, glasses, etc.) and also described them as simply as possible.
It's amazing how easy to understand his riddles are. Simple rhymes, phonetic clarity - these are all the things that help not only quickly understand Marshak’s children’s riddles, but also remember them for life.
At the same time, Marshak’s riddles do not provide such a detailed description as, for example, Chukovsky’s riddles. They give only a small hint, on the basis of which the child, in order to find the correct answer, must use his imagination, logical thinking, existing vocabulary and all his knowledge.
Of course, such riddles have a much stronger impression on children than an automatic answer in rhyme or searching for an answer based on the most detailed characteristics. But they are also more complex, therefore, given the fact that Marshak, when composing his riddles, was clearly guided by the age of his listener, do not rush to read all the poems given in this section to the child.
First of all, look at the answer: it is always written under each riddle. The item listed there should be familiar to your child. Next, read the riddle itself and make sure that all the phrases used there will not raise any questions for the little one. Only after this can you proceed directly to the guessing game.
Of course, you don’t have to follow the above sequence of actions when studying Marshak’s educational online riddles for kids. However, only with the right approach to learning can you instill in a child a love and taste for literary speech, broaden his horizons, instill perseverance, help him feel the richness of the language, develop logic and ingenuity, and activate speech. And then the riddle will not just be a poem, but a whole teaching aid.
Open to your child - no matter how old he is: 5 or 10 - the best Marshak riddles online - so interesting, multifaceted, educational, sincere and at the same time funny. And very soon you will see all these qualities in your child.
Samuel Yakovlevich Marshak is a creative person who gave us a huge number of poems that are educational in nature. can be found on our website.
And below we offer you wonderful puzzles written with love by a children's poet S.Ya. Marshak.

Great ones about poetry:
Poetry is like painting: some works will captivate you more if you look at them closely, and others if you move further away.
Small cutesy poems irritate the nerves more than the creaking of unoiled wheels.
The most valuable thing in life and in poetry is what has gone wrong.
Marina Tsvetaeva
Of all the arts, poetry is the most susceptible to the temptation to replace its own peculiar beauty with stolen splendors.
Humboldt V.
Poems are successful if they are created with spiritual clarity.
The writing of poetry is closer to worship than is usually believed.
If only you knew from what rubbish poems grow without shame... Like a dandelion on a fence, like burdocks and quinoa.
A. A. Akhmatova
Poetry is not only in verses: it is poured out everywhere, it is all around us. Look at these trees, at this sky - beauty and life emanate from everywhere, and where there is beauty and life, there is poetry.
I. S. Turgenev
For many people, writing poetry is a growing pain of the mind.
G. Lichtenberg
A beautiful verse is like a bow drawn through the sonorous fibers of our being. Not our own - the poet makes our thoughts sing within us. By telling us about the woman he loves, he delightfully awakens in our souls our love and our sorrow. He's a magician. By understanding him, we become poets like him.
Where graceful poetry flows, there is no room for vanity.
Murasaki Shikibu
I turn to Russian versification. I think that over time we will turn to blank verse. There are too few rhymes in the Russian language. One calls the other. The flame inevitably drags the stone behind it. It is through feeling that art certainly emerges. Who is not tired of love and blood, difficult and wonderful, faithful and hypocritical, and so on.
Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin
-...Are your poems good, tell me yourself?
- Monstrous! – Ivan suddenly said boldly and frankly.
- Do not write anymore! – the newcomer asked pleadingly.
- I promise and swear! - Ivan said solemnly...
Mikhail Afanasyevich Bulgakov. "Master and Margarita"
We all write poetry; poets differ from others only in that they write in their words.
John Fowles. "The French Lieutenant's Mistress"
Every poem is a veil stretched over the edges of a few words. These words shine like stars, and because of them the poem exists.
Alexander Alexandrovich Blok
Ancient poets, unlike modern ones, rarely wrote more than a dozen poems during their long lives. This is understandable: they were all excellent magicians and did not like to waste themselves on trifles. Therefore, behind every poetic work of those times there is certainly hidden an entire Universe, filled with miracles - often dangerous for those who carelessly awaken the dozing lines.
Max Fry. "Chatty Dead"
I gave one of my clumsy hippopotamuses this heavenly tail:...
Mayakovsky! Your poems do not warm, do not excite, do not infect!
- My poems are not a stove, not a sea, and not a plague!
Vladimir Vladimirovich Mayakovsky
Poems are our inner music, clothed in words, permeated with thin strings of meanings and dreams, and therefore, drive away the critics. They are just pathetic sippers of poetry. What can a critic say about the depths of your soul? Don't let his vulgar groping hands in there. Let poetry seem to him like an absurd moo, a chaotic pile-up of words. For us, this is a song of freedom from a boring mind, a glorious song sounding on the snow-white slopes of our amazing soul.
Boris Krieger. "A Thousand Lives"
Poems are the thrill of the heart, the excitement of the soul and tears. And tears are nothing more than pure poetry that has rejected the word.
