Tips for Sharing and Playing
Here are a few ways to make these jokes even more fun at your holiday gatherings:
- Take turns around the table. Everyone gets a chance to be the “knocker.” Kids love feeling like the joke master.
- Use props or accents. A Santa hat or a reindeer antler headband adds a little extra silliness.
- Mix jokes with holiday activities. Between cookie decorating, gift exchanges, or carol singing, drop in a quick knock knock joke to keep energy high.
- Encourage creative punchlines. Some kids might want to make up their own twists on the jokes, and that’s half the fun.
- Don’t rush the delivery. Pausing for dramatic effect can make a groan-worthy pun land even better.
