Tricky riddles with answers for kids?

Well, depends on the age of the kids, but here's the easy version of a good riddle:There's a secret club that only accepts extra smart members. The only way to get in is to say the correct password. If you knock the door to this club, the bouncer will just say a number, and you have to answer just by saying the correct corresponding number.

A man waited around by the door, and when members of the club knocked, he listened closely to their answers. A member knocked on the door, and the bouncer asked, "Six? ", to which the member replied, "Three.", and he was let in.

Another member knocked on the door, and the bouncer asked, "Twelve? ", to which the member replied "Six", and he was let in."This is easy! ", thought the man, and he too knocked on the door.

The bouncer asked, "Fourteen" and the man replied, "Seven". The bouncer told him to go away, for he didn't give the right answer. Answer:The code is simple, but tricky.

You would think that the answer to every question is half the number asked, but actually it's the number of letters contained in the word. S-I-X has 3 letters. T-W-E-L-V-E has 6.

The correct answer for F-O-U-R-T-E-E-N is 8.
