Abstract
This article comprehensively analyzes the multifaceted pedagogical function of riddles in traditional societies and their profound impact on children's linguistic and cognitive development. It transcends the view of riddles as mere intellectual games, repositioning them as powerful instruments for sophisticated knowledge transfer, acute cognitive skill enhancement, robust linguistic competence formation, and the vital reinforcement of cultural identity. Ultimately, it argues for the enduring relevance of riddles as a rich pedagogical tool, even in contemporary educational contexts.
