The Best Knock Knock Jokes

Dec 16, 2022

It’s about that time to be greeting you with:

Merry Christmas! To you and yours!

Today I am sharing with you a gift that my aide and I have put together for our kindergarten students for many years now. It’s easy, inexpensive, and always well received. Like most things I share with you, it is well-tested and something I feel many of you will appreciate.

The Best Knock Knock Jokes is a book full of knock knock jokes that kindergarten students not only “get” but also really like (and like to repeat). I have collected them over the years and find them to be some of the best for this age.

At our school, our principal often includes a joke with his morning announcements and often the joke is a knock knock joke. That means my students are familiar with the format, making this book more accessible for them than it might be otherwise. If you want to give this as a gift to your students, you might want to familiarize them with this type of joke so that it all makes more sense to them.

We photocopy the pages (and front cover) onto cardstock, put a plastic binding on them, and then merry it up with a ribbon, tag, and candy cane. I always read my own copy of the book to the kids on the last day of school before break. This gives me the opportunity to make sure they “get” the jokes and I know they’ll be more surprised and more delighted to read their own books once they realize they’re the same jokes I just read to them in class.

Miss Lori and I often hear the students repeating these jokes throughout the spring, or making comments about how they still have their knock knock joke book months or even years later.

I rather quickly whipped this up into a digital format for all of you. You might not have time to prepare these for this year, but stash the pages away somewhere so you can pull them out in the future. If you see a mistake—typo, punctuation, anything—on any of the pages, let me know and I will fix it up in the document.
