Here is something I started last year when Mia was in kindergarten. I found a bunch of kids' Christmas jokes online, typed them up, cut them apart, and stuck a slip of paper into her lunch box. Some websites that I pulled from included Merry-Christmas.com, All Things Christmas, and this one which sounds like it would have nothing to do with Christmas, but surprised me by having some perfectly acceptable kids' jokes.
Once I did the original legwork, this became a simple and fun new holiday tradition. A joke a day was much better received by Mia than say, the time I took a black Sharpie and drew a silly face a banana before packing it in her lunch. I know her kindergarten teacher shared these with the class, and I am hoping the first grade teacher will do this as well.
I got started with the jokes earlier this year, so that bodes well, don't you think? Here are several that I have used before, and a few extras, some of which are probably over her head. (I find them punny, so I am keeping them on hand for when the time comes that she is ready for them.) For "extra credit," I used decorative scissors to cut them out this year. I had learned at some point last year that she was more likely to see the jokes if I taped them to her sandwich holder than if I just slipped them in the lunch box, so I plan to do that each school day during the month of December, starting today!
