From vampire jokes, witch jokes and ghost jokes, we've rounded up some of our favourite clean, corny and clever Halloween jokes that are sure to get a chuckle (or maybe a groan) out of everyone.
It's that spooky time of year when Halloween films and songs get played, every doorway gets decked out with pumpkins and we all rediscover our sweet tooth. It's also when the ghosts and ghouls come visiting and we all enjoy getting good and scared. There are so many sides to Halloween that it doesn't have to be a scare-fest for tots. In fact there are lots of fun crafts and gamesthey can get involved with. There's also some brilliant Halloween jokes to bring on a grin. They can learn their favourites to tell their friends and family – there is nothing more adorable than a toddler telling a joke!
In fact learning to appreciate and re-tell jokes is an important step in a child's intellectual development. Joking is great for growing brains (not growing brains as in Frankenstein's lab). Imagination begins to appear in children around 12-18 months. Interestingly, this corresponds with the time when children are starting to copy parents’ jokes – making them more active in the production of their own brand of humour. Indeed, children as young as seven months can deliberately repeat any behaviours that elicit laughs, such as a funny face or a game of peek-a-boo.
A developing imagination is so important for a child, so encourage them as much as possible by getting creative with games, laughing together and telling jokes.
Jokes are also good for ageing brains, a great reason for grandparents and grandchildren to share the fun of telling jokes.
