Jokes require understanding of so much language! Multiple meaning words, figurative language, and more confusing things. How are some ways to introduce jokes to work on language skills:
- Joke of the week: I have taken jokes that I have found that goes with theme vocabulary or just cute/funny, and posted them on my dry erase board. Each week, students can come in and see the joke and learn what makes it funny. This way they can retell the joke to their peers and family.
- While waiting for students to arrive in the speech room, I have taken out my joke books and let the kids try and find funny ones to tell each other. Then we dissected them to explain how they are funny.
