Are you ready to have some fun and giggles? Blake, Callie, and our book buddies have some silly jokes to share with you!
Blake asked Skippy John, “Do you want to hear a joke?”
Skippy John said, “Sure!”
Blake asked, “Why did an old man fall in a well?”
Skippy John thought for a moment and said, “I don’t know, why?”
Blake giggled and said, “Because he couldn’t see that well!”
Skippy John laughed and said, “You are very funny!”
Blake replied, “You are too!”
Next, Blake asked Pete, “Hey, Pete, would you like to hear a joke?”
Pete smiled and said, “I’d love to hear a joke!”
Blake asked, “What is a cat’s favorite color?”
Pete thought hard and said, “Oh, I should know this one!”
Blake teased, “If you guess blue, you are incorrect.”
Pete was surprised, “Really?”
Blake laughed and said, “It’s purple!”
Pete chuckled and said, “I get it, purple because we purr a lot!”
Jokes are a great way to make people smile and laugh. They often use words in a funny way to surprise us. When we hear a joke, our brains get a little workout trying to figure out the punchline, which is the funny part at the end. So, next time you hear a joke, remember it’s not just fun—it’s also helping your brain grow!
Why not try making your own jokes? Think about things you find funny or silly. You can use animals, colors, or even things you see every day. Share your jokes with friends and family to see if you can make them laugh too!
Create Your Own Joke Book: Gather some paper and crayons or colored pencils. Create a small booklet by folding the paper in half. On each page, write a joke that you make up yourself. You can draw pictures to go along with your jokes. Think about things you find funny, like animals or colors, just like Blake did. Share your joke book with your family and friends to see if you can make them laugh!
Joke Detective: Go on a “joke hunt” around your house or neighborhood. Ask family members or friends to tell you their favorite jokes. Write them down and try to figure out why they are funny. What words or ideas make the joke surprising or silly? Share your findings with your class or family and see if they agree with your detective work!
Joke Performance: Organize a mini “joke show” at home. Invite your family to be the audience. Practice telling your favorite jokes with expression and excitement. Think about how you can use your voice and face to make the jokes even funnier. After your performance, ask your audience which joke was their favorite and why!
