ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel Smile and Learn English Fun Riddle for Kids – The Swimming Pool RAFFLE
Welcome to a fun and exciting swimming race between two friends, Mike and John! After years of practicing and competing, they have finally reached the big final race. Let’s see who will win!
Both Mike and John need to swim down the pool and back as fast as they can. But they have different strategies:
Now, here’s the big question: Who do you think will finish the race first? Will it be Mike with his steady pace, or John with his risky speed changes? Think about it and see if you can figure out the answer!
Imagine you’re in the pool. What would you do? Would you swim like Mike or take a chance like John? You can even try this with a friend and see which strategy works best for you!
Do you have an idea of who might win? Share your answer with your friends or write it down. If you get it right, you might just get a surprise!
If you enjoyed this riddle, there are many more fun challenges and videos to explore. Keep watching and learning new things every day!
Gather your classmates and simulate the swimming race between Mike and John. Use a stopwatch to time each participant as they mimic Mike’s steady pace and John’s varying speeds. Record the times and discuss who wins most often and why.
Calculate the total time it takes for both Mike and John to complete the race. Use the given speeds: Mike’s constant speed and John’s varying speeds. Compare the results and determine mathematically who should win the race.
Divide into two groups, one supporting Mike’s strategy and the other supporting John’s. Prepare arguments for why your chosen strategy is better. Present your arguments to the class and vote on which strategy seems more effective.
Write a short story from the perspective of either Mike or John. Describe their thoughts and feelings during the race, and explain why they chose their particular strategy. Share your story with the class.
Create a poster that illustrates the race between Mike and John. Include diagrams showing their speeds and strategies. Display your poster in the classroom to help others understand the concept of different racing strategies.
[Music] After years of strong competition, Mike and John have made it to the final. The work they have put in will be reflected in the race. They need to swim a lap down and back in the least amount of time possible. Mike, the more conservative of the two, will maintain the same speed down and back. John prefers to take risks; he will swim twice as fast as Mike on the first lap and then slow down to half Mike’s speed on the way back. Who will make it to the finish first? Do you know the answer? Write it below in the comments, and if you get it right, you will receive a surprise. Best of luck! Oh, water race! Did you like the video?

Race – A competition to see who is the fastest, often involving running or moving quickly. – In our science class, we had a race to see who could solve the math problems the fastest.
Strategy – A plan of action designed to achieve a specific goal. – During the math test, my strategy was to solve the easiest problems first.
Speed – The rate at which someone or something moves or operates. – In physics, we learned how to calculate the speed of a car using distance and time.
Pool – A collection or group of resources or items available for use. – Our teacher created a pool of math problems for us to practice before the exam.
Swim – To move through water by making movements with the arms and legs. – In our physics lesson, we discussed how fish swim efficiently by reducing water resistance.
Careful – Taking care to avoid mistakes or accidents. – When measuring angles in geometry, it’s important to be careful to get accurate results.
Steady – Firmly fixed, supported, or balanced; not shaking or moving. – The scientist kept a steady hand while pouring the liquid into the measuring cylinder.
Risks – The possibility of something bad happening. – In our experiment, we learned about the risks of not following safety rules in the lab.
Finish – To complete something. – I was excited to finish my math homework before dinner.
Chance – The possibility of something happening. – There is a good chance we will learn about probability in math class next week.
