Clean jokes for the classroom
14 jokes · ten picks, reshuffled daily
A good classroom joke does something a warning never does: it gets thirty heads to turn at once. Teachers have known this forever, which is why the best ones keep a few in reserve for the minute after lunch or the last five minutes before the bell. These are chosen for that use: clean, easy to tell, and often about the subject at hand, so a maths joke can be the way into a maths lesson.
Everything here is suitable for kids and will not bring a note home. If you are after jokes the kids can tell each other, the kids' party collection is the sillier cousin of this one.
