Riddles 1
I keep your pencils, pens, and erasers together so they don't get lost in your backpack.
Une trousse
I sit on the wall at the front of the classroom. Teachers and students write on me for everyone to see.

Les lunettes
Glasses

une règle
I create a private world in a very public place. I have two sides that work together, but I am not a pair of ears. I can silence the noise around you without making a single sound of my own.
I am full of colourful sticks that help you bring pictures to life.
Les crayons de couleur
I have two blades and a handle. I can cut paper, but I must be used carefully.
Des ciseaux
Une porte
Un crayon

une gomme
I protect something that is usually temporary. I travel back and forth every day, but my contents rarely make the return journey in the same condition. I am opened with excitement and closed when the job is done.
Boite a lunch
I have a screen and a keyboard, and I can help you research, type, and create wherever you go.
Un ordinateur portable.
I have numbers and lines, and I help you draw straight edges or measure things.

I am a place where things go when their usefulness is questioned. I become more valuable as others become less interested in what I hold. I am often emptied so I can continue doing my job.
La poubelle
I make mistakes disappear, but I slowly get smaller every time you use me.
Une gomme
I carry your books, lunch, and supplies wherever you go.

I have boundaries but no secrets, rules but no judge, and many voices but no audience. Every day, people enter me to leave knowing something they didn't know before.
La salle de classe
I have four legs, but I never walk. You sit at me to complete your work.
Un pupitre
I have many pages, but I am not a tree. You open me to learn new things.
Un livre
glue
la colle
un taille-crayon
pencil sharpener
notebook
un cahier
I am often the most organized place in a room full of unfinished work. I hold answers, questions, supplies, and sometimes mysteries that students are not supposed to investigate. I belong to one person, but many people depend on what happens around me.
