Every morning start out your day with reading a riddle for the class to visualize. Have them close their eyes. Make sure no one blurts out the answers. Discuss the adjectives that can help you "see" what is written. Encourage them to be colorful authors in their writing! Click on the pirates to get these riddles for free.
