- Interactive Jokes: Involve kids in the joke-telling process by letting them guess the punchline or fill in part of the joke. This keeps them engaged and excited to hear more.
- Encourage Kids to Make Their Own Jokes: Foster creativity by encouraging the children to make up their own jokes. You can start by giving them the first half of a joke and let them come up with the punchline. It’s a great way to encourage their imaginations!
