Celebrate laughter, clever wordplay, and the joy of making someone smile.
National Tell a Joke Day is all about sharing laughter with family and friends. Whether you love silly knock-knock jokes, clever puns, or goofy one-liners, telling jokes is a fun way to brighten someone's day.
Your brain processes humor by making surprising connections... which is one reason laughing feels so good!
by Rob Elliott
Packed with hundreds of clean, kid-friendly jokes, this collection is perfect for reluctant readers and confident comedians alike. Read a few together, then use them as inspiration to create brand-new jokes of your own.
The best jokes often start with something ordinary… then add an unexpected twist! Try writing a knock-knock joke, a pun, or a classic “Why did…?” joke. Think about animals, food, sports, or school, and don’t be afraid to get a little silly.
Take turns telling your favorite jokes… or challenge everyone to invent a brand-new one. Crown winners with playful titles like Pun Master, Giggle Guru, King/Queen of Knock-Knocks, or Most Unexpected Punchline, and celebrate every comedian with lots of applause.
