JOKES OF THE DAY for Middle School: Perfect for Relationship & Rapport-Building

What is the capital of Alaska? (Come on! Juneau this one!)

WHY TELL JOKES IN CLASS:

• Jokes teach our students to play with words, which strengthens their writing.
• Jokes help teach figurative language, such as idioms and metaphors.
• Jokes help teach homonyms.
• Joke-telling promotes language development.
• Joke-telling promotes listening skills.
• Figuring out jokes promotes metacognition.
• It’s a great way to integrate other disciplines with literacy!
• It builds positive rapport between teachers and students.
• It builds a positive learning environment.

THIS 31-PAGE RESOURCE INCLUDES:

• Joke-telling aligned with Common Core State Standards
• 405 clean, kid-friendly, school-appropriate jokes arranged by month/season
