Get ready to giggle with 37 of the best knock knock jokes for kids—perfect for car rides, lunchboxes or a fun family laugh together!
A good knock knock joke might just do the trick for your little ones and (maybe even you). Honestly, I still remember mine from when I was in primary school. That’s how special those knock knock joke memories are for me.
Some of the best bonding moments with your kids are when both of you are enjoying a good old belly laugh, doubled over and crying happy tears. It just does wonders.
With lots of silly punchlines, these jokes are short, snappy and easy enough for young kids to memorise and share with friends. They’re clean, with no bad jokes allowed.
Why knock knock jokes are actually pretty great
Sure, knock knock jokes are pretty corny but that’s the reason kids love them so much. They’re easy and funny ways to connect with people, and when your joke makes someone laugh, it makes you feel better. Little silly jokes help boost your child’s confidence and also help them build a sense of humour.
Here’s an idea: Write a bunch of these jokes on slips of paper and pop them in a jar. Each morning (or after school), your child can pull one out and read it aloud. It takes less than five minutes and it’s a lovely way to bond, even on the busiest days.
You can even add your own made-up jokes. It doesn’t have to make perfect sense as long as it brings a smile.
