Does penmanship time at your house ever feel like pulling teeth? Do you ever wish there was a fun way to practice those handwriting skills? This past summer I faced that exact same dilemma. I wanted the girls to continue to practice their penmanship, but I also wanted them to enjoy it. That’s when I came up with the idea of a joke book.
I don’t know about your kids, but my girls love jokes. As such, we created joke books to keep up our penmanship over the summer break. While the girls generally don’t consider handwriting practice to be something to enjoy, they loved creating their joke books and couldn’t wait to learn the next day’s joke.
Their joke book became something they took pride in and wanted to continue to add to long after our summer school session ended. Even now, I still hear them sharing jokes from their joke book or see them adding additional jokes for the future. In short, creating a joke book for penmanship practice was a hit!
That said, here are the 24 kid-friendly jokes you might like to use to help your children create their own penmanship joke books. Have fun sharing and writing with this laughter-filled copywork!
