Of course your child needs a nutritious lunch - but have you thought about putting jokes in the lunchbox? If your kindergartner isn't reading yet, it will be fun for the children to try and figure out the joke - maybe a cafeteria worker will help. Print the words big and draw some clues for words. Telling and remembering jokes is good for children. It helps them sequence, relate to others, and stimulates their thinking. Laughter releases stress and connects people. Usually, a letter a week is studied in kindergarten. Here are jokes for each letter.

Kid Joke Sites:
Is your child having difficulty adjusting to school? An "I Love You" note might help or a pocket heart. Kids love Knock-Knock jokes. Even if they don't get the joke - they will laugh which releases stress and takes their mind off being anxious. On one side of the napkin write a Knock-Knock joke with the answer on the other side. They will eventually be able to read these words if you use them often enough. You might want to have a Joke Jar at home to read on a rainy day. Here are some tips for being a Perfect Kindergarten Parent.
