Hey there! Can you hear me? I hope you can because we’re about to have some fun!
Do you know what instrument a skeleton plays? It’s the trombone! Isn’t that funny? Skeletons have bones, and a trombone sounds like “bone.” That’s why it’s a joke!
I’m excited to learn how to play my recorder better. I think Bach, a famous musician, can help me. Are you ready to go back in time with me to meet him? It’s going to be an adventure!
We did it! We traveled back in time and met Wilbur and Orville Wright. They are known as the Wright brothers because they were right about how making mistakes can help you learn. Isn’t that cool?
Look over here! Dr. Zoom and I found a perfect spot for a frog. It’s a lily pad! Get it? Frogs love to sit on lily pads, and “pad” can also mean a place to stay. That’s why it’s funny!
Painting a fence can be fun, but I don’t see why it’s funny. Maybe we should ask someone who knows. Oh, and I’m wearing a white suit to paint the fence white. It might not be the best choice because it’s warm, but it sure is funny!
Sometimes jokes are about playing with words. Like when we talked about the fence having points. Fences can have pointy tops, and “point” can also mean an idea. That’s why it’s a joke!
Thanks for joining me on this adventure. I hope you had fun and learned something new!
Musical Bones: Let’s explore the funny skeleton joke by creating our own musical instruments! Gather some household items like empty boxes, rubber bands, and spoons. Try to make sounds with them and see if you can create a tune. Can you make a sound that reminds you of a trombone? Share your musical creation with your family and see if they can guess what instrument it sounds like!
Time Travel Adventure: Imagine you could travel back in time like Xavier. Draw a picture of the place you would visit and the person you would like to meet. What questions would you ask them? Share your drawing and questions with your classmates and see where they would like to go!
Joke Detective: Become a joke detective by finding jokes in books or online that play with words, just like the ones in the article. Write down your favorite joke and explain why it’s funny. Try telling it to a friend or family member and see if they laugh!

Can you hear me? I sure can!
Do you get it? Because Tani, bet you don’t know what instrument a skeleton plays. The trombone! Get it? Because the bones and your skeleton is a bone.
I hope Bach can show me how to get better on my recorder fast. There’s only one way to find out! Ready to go back in time?
You mean back in time? Get it? Because his name is Bach. It’s funny!
I’m ready!

We did it! Looks like Wilbur and Orville really are the Wright brothers. Get it? Because they were totally right about mistakes helping you learn.
It’s a joke!
Uh, yeah. Over here, Dr. Zoom and I think that this would be the perfect pad for the frog. Get it? Pad because of the lily pads.
I just don’t see what’s so funny about painting a fence.
Me neither! Let’s ask him.
Wait, are you laughing at my white suit?
Well, what else would you wear to paint a fence white?
Okay, maybe it is warm.
The fence might have a point there, and there, and there.
Get it? Because the fence has points!
I’ll explain later.
