One of my favorites from Popsicle’s Rules for Being a Kid guidebook is the jokes rule, “Jokes are meant to be shared.” Kids love to hear and tell jokes, and there’s nothing better than a good belly laugh from a kid who has just enjoyed a great joke.
K is constantly coming home from school with a new joke she has learned. And even if she only remembers about half of the joke, it doesn’t stop her from cracking up. Of course, some kids jokes are really only funny to kids (mostly because they make them up as the go along), but that doesn’t stop them from telling jokes that make their friends giggle.
To help arm your kid with jokes to share, I rounded up 101 jokes from Popsicle sticks — yes, all of these jokes can be found on Popsicle sticks!
