The game's question
Follow the riddle step by step, then name the trade out loud together.
Here is a riddle. This trader set up his stall early in the morning, spread crushed ice over it to keep everything fresh and called out loudly to bring the customers over. His wooden crates had a strong smell, and people went home with their shopping wrapped in paper. What did you call this trader?
- The butcher
- The fishmonger
- The greengrocer
Need a hint?
Wrap something in a sheet of paper and call out, market style: ‘Lovely and fresh!’ What did your mum or dad like to buy from that stall?
See the answer
Answer: The fishmonger – crushed ice, wooden crates and a voice heard from afar.
Why this game : A trade guessed by its sounds and smells sets a busy market going again.
