The Best Halloween Jokes for Kids
Our 7-year-old son is a very big fan of jokes. Ever since he was about 4 he’s enjoyed memorizing them and sharing them with friends and family. In the past we’ve put together lists of our favorite jokes and our favorite riddles, but our list of favorites keeps growing throughout the years, and he isn’t showing any signs of joke fatigue. So now we’re branching out to celebrate our favorite holiday seasons - like the spooky Halloween season - with a list of our favorite jokes.
Lately, a new joke book has proven to be a great gift choice for our son. If we give it to him before a road trip he can spend the entire drive memorizing his favorites and sharing them with us from the backseat. So recently I combed through our collection and hunted down a joke book from my childhood called Spooky Jokes & Riddles by Jeffrey S. Nelson.
It’s full of great cartoon illustrations with ghosts and vampires and all sorts of other monsters. The humor is definitely hit and miss, but our son is all about the puns. I think there’s something about wordplay that’s exponentially funnier for early readers who are still exploring new words every day. But mostly what this book did was send us on a hunt for even more spooky jokes for the Halloween season.
We also discovered that another one of our favorite sources for jokes - our Amazon Echo - has a catalogue of Halloween jokes as well. All you have to do is say “Alexa, tell me a Halloween joke.” I have to warn you though, just like my old spooky joke book, Alexa’s collection is incredibly hit and miss. One joke’s punchline required understanding the concept of “ghosting” in a relationship - so I guess it’s safe to say kids aren’t always her target audience.
This list of Halloween jokes is a compilation of all of our favorites - jokes we’ve deemed to be worth memorizing and sharing with others every Halloween. We searched high and low for jokes we both think are legitimately funny. I only have so much space left in the old memory bank - if we’re going to be memorizing some spooky Halloween jokes together, they might as well be the very best! I hope you find a few to share with your kids and make them laugh this Halloween!
