How can I use these Christmas riddle activities in my classroom?

* Use the cards to model how to use reading comprehension strategies: identifying key details, make inferences, and draw conclusions.
* Use the riddle cards with the bingo game in a small group.
* Here's an idea for using the full-page riddles: display a card on your interactive board for your students to solve, in the morning before your students arrive or before they return to the classroom from recess.
