The game's question
Read the riddle one clue at a time and stop when the word comes back.
In the westerns, he said little and saw everything. He sat easy in the saddle, his hat pulled low. Here, we are not looking for his name but for his job. Read the riddle together: “A poncho on my shoulder, a big hat, a lasso on my saddle—I herd the cattle and ride through every western. Who am I?”
- The sheriff
- The cowboy
- The stagecoach driver
Need a hint?
Your son or daughter can act it out: pull a hat down low, then twirl an invisible lasso overhead. The job has a farm animal in its name: “Cow…”
See the answer
Answer: The cowboy—the rider of every western, a lasso on his saddle.
Why this game : Small details—the hat, the poncho, the lasso—are enough to set the scene again, and a favorite western is rarely far behind.
