Tips to Get Bigger Laughs

Six-year-olds love timing and repetition. Pause before the punchline. Use funny voices. Let them guess the answer even if it takes a few tries. When they laugh, invite them to tell the joke back to you.

If you want the biggest reaction, stick to jokes with familiar words and clear endings. Simple setups and silly twists almost always win.

Save a few favorites for car rides, classroom transitions, or bedtime. One good joke can turn an ordinary moment into a shared memory they will want to repeat again and again.
