Knock, Knock!? (Who’s there?) Jokes! (Jokes who?) 180 JOKES FOR THE CLASSROOM THAT’S WHO!
Alright, so I promise the following 180 jokes are WAY BETTER than that. I mean, would you even call that a joke? I digress… so where did this idea come from to compile this major list of jokes? Teaching during the pandemic. I was teaching completely virtual for almost the entire school year. I had to find a way to motivate my students and keep them engaged and smiling when they signed on every morning. What better way than to have an entire “joke month” with a joke of the day. We called it “Joke January!”
I created google slides with my jokes and Bitmoji characters in various funny positions. Also, to make it even more engaging and exciting I had a student assigned each day to tell a joke as well! I even made a point to include several of their jokes within this list! My plan for this upcoming school year is to do an entire year’s worth of jokes!
Here is my plan for the upcoming school year: When the jokes are presented to my students on the slide, I will provide time for students to read the joke on their own first. Some days I have them pair and share what they think the answer may be. Or, I will complete it whole group with several students taking guesses before providing the answer. I hope this will start the day with a smile!
Thank You!
A huge thank you to several of my former students for some of these hilarious jokes! Also, a big thank you to the Teaching Trailblazers in our Fearless Kindergarten Facebook Group, Fearless First Grade Facebook Group, and Fearless Second Grade Facebook Group for funny jokes in the classroom! Sit back, relax and enjoy these 180 Jokes for the Classroom! I can’t stop laughing at the Cow and Dinosaur sections!
