International Joke Day

International Joke Day takes place each year on July 1. It is not a wellknown holiday and is not celebrated by a majority of people, but it is a good opportunity to spread a little cheer and brighten the day of your family and friends. The day can serve as a reminder to all that laughter can make you forget your troubles and give you enjoyment in your life. It will not make your problems go away, but it can make them seem less daunting.

There's nothing healthier than a good laugh & as 1st July is International Joke Day, we thought it would be fun for all to celebrate this with a warmer full of jokes. Jokes are difficult in another language so to be sure all understand them the ones below are children's jokes. You should get a smile anyway, as well as few groans - but as long as there is a reaction, I'm sure it'll be an enjoyable activity. The students might then come out with their own jokes. There are lots of joke sites on the net so hunt around if you need some different ones.
