Setting up this activity is super easy. Simply print the pages on regular paper or use cardstock for sturdier cards. Then, cut the jokes apart and they’re ready to use. These are perfect for busy parents or teachers on the go.

Tips For Teachers

Teachers can use these jokes in a couple of different ways. You can start each day in October with a Halloween joke to warm up the class. 

Or, you can hand out the jokes at your classroom Halloween celebration! Give each student a different joke and let them have fun making each other laugh!
