Hey there! Are you ready to have some fun with jokes? Let’s see if our friends can make you giggle!
One day, Van Nexus asked Penj, “Do you want to hear a joke?”
Penj was excited and said, “Oh yes, please!”
Van Nexus asked, “How do you make a tissue dance?”
Penj thought hard but couldn’t figure it out. “That’s a tough one; I don’t know,” he said.
Van Nexus laughed and said, “You put a little beat in it!”
Penj chuckled, “That’s a good one!”
Next, Noah was talking to Bad Seed and asked, “Do you want to hear a joke?”
Bad Seed was eager and replied, “Oh yes, I love jokes!”
Noah asked, “What has four wheels and eats Lego bricks?”
Bad Seed was puzzled and said, “Uhh, huh, you got me stumped.”
Noah giggled and said, “A vacuum cleaner!”
Bad Seed laughed, “A vacuum cleaner? That’s a great one!”
Then, Nexus had a joke for everyone. He asked, “Why did the cookie go to the hospital?”
Everyone was curious and said, “I don’t know.”
Nexus smiled and said, “‘Cause he was feeling a little crummy!”
Everyone laughed at the silly joke!
Jokes are a great way to make people smile and laugh. They can be about anything, like tissues, Lego bricks, or even cookies! When you hear a joke, try to guess the answer. It’s okay if you don’t know it right away. The fun part is hearing the punchline and sharing a laugh with friends!
Now it’s your turn! Can you think of a funny joke to share with your friends?
Create Your Own Joke Book: Gather some paper and crayons or colored pencils. Create a small book by folding the paper in half and stapling it along the fold. On each page, write down a joke you know or make up your own. Draw a picture to go along with each joke. Share your joke book with your family or friends and see if you can make them laugh!
Joke Detective: Go on a “joke hunt” around your house or school. Ask your family members, teachers, or friends to tell you their favorite jokes. Write them down in a notebook. Once you have a collection, try to figure out what makes each joke funny. Is it a play on words, a funny situation, or something else? Share your findings with your class.
Joke Performance: Choose your favorite joke from the article or one you know. Practice telling it with lots of expression and enthusiasm. Think about how you can use your voice and facial expressions to make it even funnier. Perform your joke for your family or classmates and see how many laughs you can get!
