April kicks off with April Fool's Day so for my family that means April is the month of fun and silliness.
To add to the fun, I like to present a "joke of the day" to my kids. When they were in elementary school they loved them and even made up their own. Now that my kids are teenagers they roll their eyes at me and say, "Really?" But no matter what I keep the jokes coming all April long.
How to do Joke of the Day
- Come up with a months worth of jokes or riddles that your kids (or you) will enjoy. A simple online search or joke book from the library is all you need.
- Type or write all of the jokes and answers on an "answer key." Number the answers. Keep this is an only you can see it place!
- Write each joke separately on a piece of paper, index card, as a text, on your daily calendar,... Make sure to number the jokes to match your answer key.
- Present one joke/riddle of a day to the entire family each morning.
- Now the guessing begins.
- Optional: Prize for the first to guess correctly
