How to Use Jokes in the Classroom

We know you don’t exactly need a guide to crack a few jokes in the classroom, and you’re well aware that sharing something silly is a simple but effective means of establishing that important rapport with your students. But there are a few tips we thought were worth sharing — just in case you haven’t thought of them!

Write the question section of a joke on your whiteboard, and have students fill in what they think the punchline will be as a bell-ringer activity. You can go around the room and allow a few students to share their silly answers as part of a morning meeting before revealing the funny!
Use joke time for brain breaks. Read out jokes during a break period, but challenge your students not to laugh! They’ll soon be in stitches, and it their little minds will get that important rest period to recharge and refresh.
Turn joke time into a writing prompt. Share the entire joke, and challenge your students to come up with their own punchlines or write a story based on the setup of the joke.
Build vocabulary with a laugh. Use jokes to introduce new vocabulary words and idioms in a fun and engaging way. For example, a joke that plays on the double meanings of a word can help students better understand the word’s nuances.
