Riddles with year 3


So we read this riddle out twice in my class then asked the children what they thought i could be-

I have no colour, not even white,
but sometimes I’m wide and blue.
Sometimes I’m still, sometimes I rush,
and I can fall down on you.
I can change my shape, I often do,
but I’m hard to hold in your hand.
You need me to make your castle stand up
when you’re playing in the sand.
I haven’t much taste, but on a hot day
Your tongue’s hanging out for me.
Then I am cold, but I can be hot
When I’m in your mum’s cup of tea. 

child 1- 'Is it a triangle?'
Teacher- 'No, not quite'
child 2- 'is it a toilet?'
Teacher- 'erm....it could be something in a toilet...'
child 1- 'The poo on the seat!'
