KNOCK, KNOCK!


At Summer Camp a teacher shared how she posted 100 knock-knock jokes around the school for the 100th Day of School. What a clever idea!

Knock-knock jokes would be great to post in the hall where children have to wait. (Might be a good project for 3rd or 4th graders.) The more you tell jokes, the better the children will become at understanding the play on words. It’s funny, but even the kids who don’t really “get” them will pretend they do and laugh.


The world keeps on changing, but children still enjoy simple knock-knocks and riddles just like you did as a child! There are lots of free apps and websites where you can find knock-knock jokes and riddles. (Some of them are really corny, but the absurdity will stretch your brain.) You can save jokes on index cards, keep a riddle book on your desk, or use a knock-knock app to entertain children when you have a few extra minutes during the school day.
