Get ready to groan (and laugh) with these jokes that’ll tickle your family’s funny bone.
You can’t get more groan-worthy than kid knock knock jokes. But even when they’re somewhat silly, they’re still a great way to get some giggles in with your kids. So if you want to perk up your preschooler, or finally get your tween to get their face out of their phone, you might want to knock them out with any of these knock knock jokes for kids.
With their signature opener of “Knock knock, who’s there?” the options are endless on how the gag can go. And that’s what ultimately makes them so appealing, according to Rob Elliott, creator of the Laugh-Out-Loud series of joke books and author of Knock Knock Jokes for Kids. “Knock knock jokes can be fun for kids of all ages,” says Elliott. “Even a preschooler can have fun with the silliness of play-on-word jokes as their use of language is developing.” And because they’re interactive (instead of waiting for a punch line), it opens up the opportunity to create memorable moments with your child. “This is a great way to build a young person’s confidence as a person and as a reader without even knowing they’re learning,” Elliott says.
So prepare for the puns and cue up the corniness, and enjoy these kid knock knock jokes that are sure to knock your kid’s socks off.
