Grade 4 Fun — Riddles

I have lines but never wait in one. Students write on me until I am full, then flip me over. What am I?

I race around a clock face but never leave my circle. Tick after tick, I point the way. What am I?

The more carefully you erase me, the cleaner the page becomes. Mistakes fear me. What am I?

I begin and end with the same letter, and inside me you may place one written message. What am I?

I show mountains without climbing them and oceans without getting wet. Travelers unfold me for directions. What am I?

I have dozens of keys that unlock songs, not doors. Classrooms keep me near the music stand. What am I?

Ship crews drop me to stay put, then lift me when it is time to leave. What am I?

I wear numbers on my face and wave two thin hands all day, yet I never clap. What am I?

When rain arrives I rise; when the sky clears I fold and rest. What am I?

You plan for me, hope for me, and walk toward me, but you cannot photograph me today. What am I?

I have a neck and a cap but never a scarf. Lunch tables meet me filled with water. What am I?

Whisper me to one friend and I shrink; shout me to the class and I nearly vanish. What am I?
