Every child needs to have a little laughter

I have just spent the last 30 minutes with my daughter having a laugh. Telling silly jokes, in silly voices, making faces and telling funny stories. We all need laughter in our lives.

On average, children laugh 200 times per day while adults laugh only 15 to 18. Laughter is good for a child’s mental and physical health. Encourage joy and laughter, tell jokes and silly stories, laugh at the crazy escapades and at yourself. Enjoy a little comedy either in your home or in your programme. You could include a joke of the day into your programme or hold an OSCAR comedy festival, hire a clown or even become clowns by having a clowning workshop. Have a laugh.

Our families favourite types of jokes are knock knock jokes and I have included some below.

Knock knock. Who’s there? Orange. Orange who?(Orange) Aren’t you glad I’m not a Banana.
Knock knock. Who’s there? BooBoo who? Don’t cry it’s only me.
Knock knock. Who's there? Sacha. Sacha who? Sacha lot of questions.
Knock knock. Who's there. Abba. Abba who? Abba banana.
