Riddles and Jokes for Kids

Have you ever been in that moment when kids are sitting around, bored, staring at you, waiting for something fun?

I have. One afternoon, the kids at my place put their phones away and said, “Tell us something funny” I honestly didn’t know what to do at first.

I could see they needed something exciting, but I didn’t want it to be another screen-time activity.

So I decided to try something simple. I shared a silly riddle. At first, they looked confused then someone guessed the answer and suddenly everyone burst out laughing.

That one small moment completely changed the mood. I realized that riddles and jokes aren’t just funny; they bring people together, spark creativity, and make kids think in a playful way.

Since that day, whenever I see kids getting bored, I handle it the same way I pull out a fun riddle or a light joke.

And now, I’m sharing that same little secret with you. 😊
