Want a simple way to get into the holiday spirit and connect with your kids? Try a little laughter!

Telling jokes around the dinner table has become on of our family’s favorite activities lately. Whether it’s dad’s terrible puns (sorry, my love), my preschooler’s nonsensical knock-knock jokes, or some surprisingly witty jokes from my older boys, laughter really is the best medicine!

How to use Christmas jokes to spark meaningful connections

Telling jokes around the table may be silly, but these little things can be meaningful! Use them to spark connection with your kids and inspire service.

Here are just a few ideas to get you started:

• Print out the jokes, cut them apart into strips, and then take turns telling them around the dinner table.
• Challenge your kids with a new joke/riddle each day when they come home from school. Can they guess the punch line?
• Invite your kids to tell one of their favorite jokes to a teacher, lunch worker, or fellow student at school.
• Make Christmas cards for friends and family, and include a Christmas joke.

Now that you’re all set with ideas of how to use them, here are 20 kid-friendly Christmas jokes!
