A Joke-A-Day:

200 Kid-Friendly Jokes For The Classroom

Happy, smiling children make for eager, engaged learners. With the myriad of

testing and assessments that take place throughout the school year, it is nice to

have a moment each day to make kids smile. Whether you start the morning off

with a joke or fit it in between math and reading lessons, a kid-friendly joke, tongue

twister, or riddle helps lighten the mood and gets your students thinking outside

the box.

Jokes and riddles offer a great segue into multiple word meanings, homophones,

language manipulation, alliteration, and more. Need a new way to grab your ESL/

ELL students¡¯ attention? Try telling them a joke. Want to challenge your students to

use language in different ways? Ask them to write jokes and riddles. The inherent

¡°fun factor¡± of jokes makes them an easy sell and much less intimidating than

asking students to write a paragraph.

If you think writing a joke is easy, think again. It requires students to

not only understand the way words are put together, but encourages

them to expand their vocabulary. With a strong emphasis in the

Common Core State Standards on vocabulary, writing and telling

jokes is the perfect, kid-friendly way to meet those standards.

The 200 kid-friendly jokes in this book are great for classroom (or

home) use. Encourage students to create a joke a day for your

classroom and create a book that they can take home at the end

of the year. Inspiration, humor, and kid-friendly fun are a sure-fire

recipe for student success.
