There is always summer
September, April.
And this circle is longer

All are parallel to each other.
You were able to guess
What is this? ...

I went to different countries
Sailing on rivers, oceans,
Bravely walked through the desert -
On one sheet of paper.

This device is correct.

Everyone knows: old and young,
What is the point on the map - ...

The main city of the state
Though republics, though kingdoms.
This is where ingenuity comes in handy:

(Capital.)
with this city
Others can't compare.
He is the head of the country
It's called...
(Capital.)
Territories of the country
You guys should know
To write letters to everyone,
To send parcels.
There are Ryazan, Tver,
And what is yours like?
(Region.)
Here are giant mountains -
Tibet, Altai, Pamir,
Carpathians and Balkans.
The whole world knows them.
Here the rivers are the Ob and the Angara,
Don, Volga, Lena and Kura.

(Eurasia.)
We will find on the globe
Two different poles!
And at the South we will find
Continent covered with ice!

Here, among the polar ice floes,
It is important that the penguin tramples.
This continent is deserted
And the penguin is here as a guide.
He is ready to tell people
How beautiful...
(Antarctica.)
There are sharks scurrying around, gorillas jumping.
Scary "big evil crocodiles

Elephants and monkeys
Lions, zebras and giraffes
Walking in hot...

Only in a big, green country
Kangaroo lives smart.
He won't leave his children
He carries them with him in his bag.
(Australia.)
It's a wonderland
He is handsome and small.
And it only has one
Picturesque country.
In other places such animals
I can hardly find
After all, a kangaroo among the steppes
Walks only in...

A boot floats in the sea
Thousands of years and not wet!
And people live on it -
Who will call us?
(Italy and Italians.)
Here surrounded by blue seas
The green boot floats.
In it, for gifts at Christmas
Or New Year's
So much hidden at once
What you won't eat in a year:
old cities,
rivers and canals,
orange groves,
Yachts, carnivals,
Mountains and more...
And it's all - …
(Italy.)
Sushi a small piece -
But it happens sometimes
He is big, and even very,
And there is always water around.
(Island.)
That island looks like a ring
It's not easy for us to get there.
But on the map I found
That coral...
(Atoll.)
Vanya told us at the lesson:
There is a coral island in the ocean,
He once acquired the form of a ring,
It's called the island...
(Atoll.)
In class, I learned
Where corals grow in the seas.
In the form of drying, the island is -
Name it to us here.
(Atoll.)
These super reservoirs
We will find everything on the globe,
Because in the whole world
There are few of them - only four!

He floats, shining in the sun
This island is icy
It's big and won't wobble
Even in strong waves.
(Iceberg.)
I read different names on the map:
Black, White, Yellow, Red…
And in appearance - green, gray, blue,
Whenever you look, it is very beautiful.
(Sea.)
Incidentally, they say
That there are colored seas.
You can quickly, without advice,
Guess the four colors?
(Geography was definitely not taught in vain by me:
Black and White, Yellow and Red.)
You see - "the sky is covered with darkness",
The waves are rolling, the wind is howling:
Strong storm at sea
Small boats on the mountain.
(Storm.)
During the day it blows on land from the sea,
At night - to the other side.
Would you help me to name
That coastal breeze.
(Breeze.)
If inland
He wandered from the ocean
So there will be clouds
And sometimes hurricanes.
He comes to us with rain
Wet windy...
(Cyclone.)
Fluctuating and fickle,
Coastal drift, sandy hill,
What from a gust of wind
Ready to run two meters.
(Dune.)
Let's say a word:
Large natural reservoir
What is locked firmly by the shores.
We know the answer for sure.
(Lake.)
There is in our Siberian taiga
More sea miracle bowl.
Surrounded by wild rocks
This lake …
(Baikal.)

I'm not silent, I'm busy
I turn the wheels of the mill,
And light herds of boats
Carries my water.
(River.)
This ribbon is blue
Such restless
Winds between the forests
And beats on the shore.
Fisherman's ribbon beckons.
What's the tape? That....
(River.)
I'm not a little stream
I am wider and longer!
And I'm deep
Because I...
(River.)
Two brothers removed into the abyss of waters
Everything looks, but only annoyance -
They will not meet forever ... And now, two brothers,
Separately meet sunset ... sunrise ...
(Two banks.)
(O. Ushakova)
The river quietly murmured to us,
To find its beginning -
Quiet, weak stream
Entitled…
(Source.)
Name a riverbed.
Don't you know? A friend will help.
(Russo.)
Here you can help me guess
A deep hole in the river at the bottom.
I'll tell you an important secret here:
In it, according to legend, devils live.
(Pool.)
I stand on the steepest
I have not seen a better place!
Somewhere down there, the tide.
But high steep ...
(Break.)
In this shallow place
You can cross the river
If the bridge to cross
You won't be able to find.
(Ford.)
On the map of North America - a dot.
It was a happy meeting between mother and daughter.
And they just met each other
They murmured in pure English.
Alas, I'm not very good at English.
I only remember their names
Such beautiful, azure colors:
One is Mrs Ipi, the other is Miss Uri.
(Mississippi and Missouri rivers.)
This little pond
All covered with duckweed,
And frogs live in it,
And also carp.
(Pond.)
Well, of course, it's a miracle! -
It's been a century
Even in the hottest summer
Snow on top!
(Mountain.)
To conquer that steep
You have to be a climber.
You answer my question:
What is a stone cliff?
(Rock.)
On that big mountain
The character is quiet for the time being.
But it might happen...
Explode, smoke!
(Volcano.)
I give a definition:
Bowl-shaped recess
At the top of the volcano.
Think, friend, give up early.
(Crater.)
The earth trembled, the volcano began to smoke,
Fire broke out from under the ashes and stone.
And now from the mouth of the volcano flowed
Molten rock flow!
(Lava.)
Sometimes close to volcanoes
Natural spring with hot water,
What whips with a stream of boiling water along with steam.
It is not a match for ordinary fountains at all.
(Geyser.)
The hills adorned the valley
With its long string.
Our wise teacher said:
"That chain of hills is called..."
(ridge.)
Behind the airfield.
We fly four hours.
We see the tundra under the wing,
And then - the forests of Siberia.
There is a blizzard in winter.
This coniferous forest...
(Taiga.)
Here the birches are knee-deep.
Herds of deer nibble on the moss.
They are grazing with a family of mushers,
Their chum is made of smoky skins.
(Tundra.)
There are large piles of sand in it
They are called dunes,
And camels are walking along them,
Spread out in a caravan.
(Desert.)
There is a lot of iron in the geologist's find,
And for those people, of course, it is useful.
Among fossils, always valuable
It was considered mined in a mine ...
(Ore.)
Easily
Not mined in the mine...
(Ore.)
fossilized resin
prehistoric plants,
What could be useful to us
For all sorts of wonderful decorations.

2. My first syllable is a sea animal. He is sometimes hunted down. And the interjection is the second. Everything is a state, but which one? 3. Interjection - the first syllable. Among the birds, look for the second. The third is a letter. In the Urals I flow like a river. 4. To show your skill, Let's think with you: My first syllable is a pronoun, The name of the forest is the second syllable. And at the end (be bolder for the cause!) Let's take one consonant sound. End of the charade! Let's call the whole Soviet city a word. 5. Everyone knows the first syllable - It always happens in classes, We will add an alliance to it, We will put a tree behind. To know the whole, we need to name the city.
6. The first is a consonant, the second is a preposition, the third is a country in Africa, the whole is a republic in South America.

Geographic mysteries
Russian riddles are amazing! Children and adults with great pleasure solve them. And how much more interesting the lesson becomes when riddles, interesting questions, entertaining tasks appear there! I really like to collect riddles in academic subjects, especially in geography. When there were a lot of them, I decided to group them by topic. This will significantly facilitate the work of the teacher, and the student will add interest in the subject, will allow him to show off his intelligence and quick wits. After all, it was not in vain that people called the riddle “without a face in disguise” - this is a hidden face and must be guessed. And, of course, the one who has mastered the material of the geography lesson will guess the riddle. I wish you good luck and interesting lessons.

The structure of our planet, the location of countries and continents on it has attracted the attention of people since ancient times. And today, such a science as geography is popular not only among adults, but also among schoolchildren.
There are many interesting geographical puzzles designed to instill in children an interest in geography and develop logical thinking. By the way, many of them will be of interest to an adult inquisitive person.
Poles of the Earth
These mysterious cold lands are still not well understood. But there is a certain amount of knowledge about them. In addition to natural and climatic problems, many geographical riddles have been invented about the most snow-white parts of our planet. Perhaps, to answer these simple questions, you will need not only school knowledge, but also ingenuity and wit.
- Where on earth does the south wind always blow? Of course, at the North Pole.
- What continent are the four poles on? The South Pole, the Pole of Cold, the Pole of Inaccessibility and magnetic pole. It turns out just four.
- Where can you walk during the day under the moon and stars? In winter, when there is a polar night in the Arctic and Antarctic, the sun is not visible even during the day, the light comes only from the moon and stars.
- Eskimos have always been considered successful hunters, but they never hunted penguins. Why? The thing is that penguins live at the South Pole, and Eskimos live at the North.
- How can you get as close to the center of the earth as possible? Our planet is not a perfect ball, it is slightly flattened from the poles. In addition, the South Pole is 3 km above sea level, and the North Pole is almost at its level. Therefore, when you hit the North Pole, you get as close as possible to the center of the planet.
Continents and countries
Since childhood, we all know the names of the continents located on our planet. We are also familiar with the names of most countries, even those that have appeared on the map recently. However, how many geographical mysteries based on the program high school, will it be possible to immediately find the answer?
- On which continent has no earthquake been recorded? There are no tectonic faults throughout Australia, and volcanic eruptions and earthquakes occur just along the fault line.
- Where do locals build their houses underground? Aborigines living on the edge of the Sahara are forced to settle underground, because only there are sources of fresh water and you can find shelter from the scorching sun and sandstorms.
- In what country do people build roads out of coral? On the territory of the island nation of Guam, located in the Pacific Ocean, there is absolutely no natural sand. It is economically unprofitable to import it, so all the roads on the island are made of coral chips.
- In which country is it produced maximum amount oxygen? Approximately 1/4 of the world's forests grow in Siberia, so it is in Russia that forests most of all process carbon dioxide into oxygen necessary for life.
- Which country has the most time zones? Surprisingly, this is not Russia with its vast territory, but small France, which is located on twelve time zones. True, this is taking into account the territories of the former French colonies.
Oceans, seas and rivers
Two-thirds of the surface of our planet is covered with water - oceans, seas, lakes and rivers. The entire history of mankind is directly connected with water flows, and life on the planet without water would be impossible.
Therefore, specialists in the field of geography devote so much time to studying the numerous reservoirs of the planet, both large and modest. And for children, a huge number of geographical riddles about the seas and rivers have been invented. Here is some of them:
- Which riverbed crosses the equator twice? This applies to the Congo, the deepest river in Africa.
- What strait connects two seas and two oceans, but separates two peninsulas, two countries, and even two continents? The Bering Strait separates Asia and North America, two peninsulas - Chukotka and Seward, two countries - Russia and the USA. It unites the Chukchi and Bering Seas, as well as the Arctic and Pacific Oceans.
- Which two seas in Russia are absolutely opposite in terms of geographic location, water temperature and even the name? Of course, we are talking about the warm Black Sea and the ice-covered White Sea.
- We often pronounce the phrase "borderless sea". Is there really a sea without shores? Surprisingly, it exists. This is the Sargas Sea, the water area of \u200b\u200bwhich is not limited by land, as usual, but by large ocean currents. The currents act as watersheds and keep the waters of the Sargas Sea from mixing with the cold waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
- There is a unique lake on our planet, in one half of which there is fresh water, and in the other it is salty. This is Balkhash in the east of Kazakhstan. Thanks to its narrow strait and the Saryesik peninsula, the water in its western part always remains fresh, and in the eastern part it is salty.
What do we know about city names?
Knowing the names of all the cities on our planet is simply unrealistic, there are too many of them. But any educated person should remember the names of capitals and other large cities in different countries. And sometimes you can show off your erudition in a conversation, remembering an unusual or funny toponym. And there are a lot of such strange names ...
- In which city in the world is the largest medieval fortress located? The mystery is absolutely simple, we are talking about the Moscow Kremlin.
- Which city names itself twice? This is the small town of Yaya, located in Kemerovo region.
- Which city is bleeding? The riddle is about the capital of Austria, Vienna.
- If the name of one of the planets solar system rearrange the letters, you get the capital of one of the CIS countries. Here, too, you don’t have to think long: the planet is Venus, and the city is Yerevan, the capital of Armenia.
- What city is in the compote? This is Izyum in the Kharkiv region.
A little about the pioneers
Nowadays, all the white spots on the globe have long been explored. It used to be different, when brave travelers of the past found new lands, they gave them names. From the point of view of a modern person, they often seem illogical. In this regard, there are interesting puzzles about geographical discoveries, which will be useful for both children and adults to solve. For example, such...
Greenland is the largest island on Earth, more than 80% of which is covered by glaciers. Why did the person who discovered this island give it the name Greenland (Green Land)? This happened in 982. The Scandinavian jarl Eric Raudi sought to convince people to settle on the island, which is why he called it the Green Land.
However, there is a version that in the 10th century the climatic conditions in Greenland were milder, so the Viking crew could really see the green lands of the southwestern part of the island. Probably, the exact answer to this riddle will never be received.
Riddles-jokes
Studying geography requires knowledge a large number specific terms. The easiest way to introduce these concepts to children is by asking them funny geographical riddles. For 7th graders and older students, there are several interesting options:
- What key can't open the door? Often a spring gushing out of the ground is called a spring.
- What funnel cannot be picked up? On the surface of the earth, in places where limestones are formed, the soil often forms deep dips, tapering downwards. They are called funnels.
- Where on Earth can you cook a hot meal without lighting a fire? There are places in Kamchatka and the Kuril Islands where jets of boiling water and hot steam come out of the ground.
- Can you fish in the grass? Sometimes lakes, overgrown, turn into meadows. It seems that the entire surface is covered with grass, but if there are still "windows" of water, fish may well live in them.
A bit of logical thinking
Often, in order to solve seemingly simple geographical riddles, children need not only to have certain knowledge about the structure of the planet, but also to be able to think logically. However, what about children ... Sometimes simple questions can confuse even an educated adult.
- What was the highest mountain on Earth until people learned about the height of Everest? The knowledge or ignorance of mankind about Everest does not prevent it from being the highest mountain on the planet.
- Rivers without water, cities without people, forests without animals - where is it? Surprisingly, the answer is simple: on a geographical map.
Funny riddles in verse
Sometimes it is difficult to interest schoolchildren with dry scientific data from textbooks. But the information transmitted in a fun way will be learned much faster. Here is a small selection of poetic geographical riddles with answers, thanks to which the children will be able to better remember new information.
"On the globe you will find the address -
There is a belt on the planet's waist."
If you imagine the "waist" of the globe, it is easy to guess what encircles its equator.

So it's been a year
It won't fall down."
It's about the waterfall.
Charades about geographical concepts
