Kids love jokes, and parents love it when their kids make them laugh.
I remember when my youngest told his first joke, I laughed until I cried. Not because it was a good joke, but because he told it so very, very wrong. It was hilarious.
My kids love to tell jokes, even when they don’t understand them, or they don’t make sense. Sadly, they sometimes even hear off-color or inappropriate jokes.
So, I rounded up these 27 jokes for kids that are funny, clean, and won’t make mom roll her eyes too far. No bodily function jokes on this list!
Some of them are classics, while others are more contemporary, but all of them will get you giggling.
