Free PDF + editable BoboCreate template

How to Make Lift-the-Flap Riddle Cards

Six lift-the-flap riddles to tuck into any mystery bag: read, guess, then lift the flap to check.

Both downloads are the free edition. The .bobo file opens in BoboCreate Desktop.

The editable file imports in BoboCreate Free 0.3.19 or later. It uses one of Free's three design places, and its own artwork does not count toward your three uploaded images. Older versions of the app need BoboCreate activated to import it, so update BoboCreate first.

The full Mystery Riddle Cards set has 12 riddles in three age bands (up to ages 9–10), 6 bag labels, a host key with fair alternative answers and an ink-saver edition.

What the free template includes

• 6 riddles for ages 5–6 and 7–8
• Answers under a fold-up flap
• A print-ready US Letter PDF
• An editable .bobo file for BoboCreate Desktop

Print at true size

Print on US Letter at Actual Size / 100% — never Fit to Page — and measure the 1-inch square before you cut. Plain 20–24 lb printer paper works for everything; 65 lb light cardstock makes sturdier cards and bags.

Make it

Cut and fold. Page 2: cut each card out and fold its bottom flap UP over the answer (the orange dotted line).

Guess, then lift. Tuck one riddle in each bag. The finder reads it, guesses, then lifts the flap.

Safety

A grown-up should help with scissors and do any craft-knife cutting. Paper pieces, stuffing and seal stickers can be choking hazards for children under 3. Keep them away from babies and toddlers. Use a glue stick or tape — no hot glue for children.
