I have a totally new appreciation for jokes now that I teach gr. 8. I have one student who tells me a "French" joke every week.(they aren't about French people only are related to the French language)
I love it, and often giggle about them all day.
good joke Denis, but perhaps I won't share this one with my students.
Yea, it's a real challenge to find a joke I can tell my students (one they will understand, and doesn't have adult content). If you have any suggestions i would greatly appreciate it. So far my only good one has been:
Why do birds fly south in winter? ...it's too far to walk!
Okay, here is one but it might be too complex for EAL students.
There are two cats, an English cat named "one two three" and a French cat named " Une, deux, trois". Q: If they had a swimming race across the English Channel which one would win?
A: The English cat because the "une deux, trois" quatre, cinq.
three tomatoes were walking down the street, two adult tomatoes and the child tomato. The child tomato started to fall behind. One of the adult tomatoes waited for the child tomato, smooshes his head and says "Ketchup!"

This was my favorite joke when I was about 5. It's definitely gross.
