I started this year putting jokes into the lunch boxes. They have gone over so well with M and M (especially the knock-knock jokes, pumpkin jokes, and candy jokes), I decided to round up some extra special jokes for the month of October. Any guesses on what the theme is? You got it. Halloween jokes for kids. Fun right?
Ghost jokes, vampire jokes, mummy jokes, monster jokes, witch jokes, skeleton jokes… the funniest Halloween jokes around!
M and M love Halloween. What’s not to love? Scary storytelling, spooky pretend play, and of course all the candy! I just know these jokes are going to be a huge hit.
