Alphabet of Riddles - Riddles of Alphabet

Uma boa brincadeira para crianças de diversas idades é a Pegadinha do Alfabeto. Como as perguntas são engraçadas, como falar que a letra T é chá (tea), as crianças se divertem. Caso você tenha a oportunidade de cuidar de duas crianças ou mais, ou tenha que distraí-las durante um playdate ou uma festa de aniversário, vale até organizar um campeonato.

Claro que algumas são mais complicadas, e você terá que adaptá-las às idades das crianças que participarão da brincadeira, mas já servem como, no mínimo, uma boa idéia.
