little holiday notes and lunchbox jokes

Who doesn’t need to laugh a little more during this sometimes-way-too-stressful holiday season? I surely do–and there’s nothing like a super-corny, incredibly simple knock-knock joke toย get me smiling and my kids rolling.

little holiday joke notes teachmama.com

And I mean rolling.ย  On the floor.ย  In stitches.

So thanks to my dear friend with many great ideas who sent me her own set of Halloween jokes that she made for her two lucky girls, I felt inspired to follow suit and create some holiday lunchbox jokes for my own kiddos.

At least these jokes kind of make sense; the ones that Maddy, Owen, and Cora seem to be telling these days are totally off-the-wall.

Holiday Notes and Lunchbox Jokes:

These are simple but funny, and I found them all around the internet.ย  I didn’t make them up, and they didn’t come from one source–they came from a bunch of places and I lost track (so, gulp, thanks for sharing!).

The Holiday Notes and Lunchbox Jokes are here to download as a pdf if you’d like to share ’em with your little lovies. ย (Please, if you decide to share, link to this post instead of the attachment page!)

Just throw your email in the box below, and the notes will magically appear in your inbox. Enjoy!

The jokes are waaay basic, and I tried to choose ones that had relatively easy to read words so that my emerging readers could at least read them and tell them to their buddies at lunchtime.

Our holiday notes and lunchbox jokes are so totally cute and actually pretty funny.

I loved how my girlfriend’s Halloween jokes were formatted so that if you folded one side in, you had to read the joke on the left side and then open up the page to read the answer.ย  So I tried to do that for most of my holiday jokes.

Using a small Foamie sticker, I folded the right half of the paper shut, and planted a holly leaf or tiny star right there to keep the answer a secret until the reader was ready!

little holiday joke notes teachmama.com

 

And that’s it–just a little teeny holiday note that doubles as a lunchbox joke to get my kiddos laughing a bit and reading along the way.

It’s been so busy here, preparing for Maddy’s birthday and trying to get everything set for the holiday, and carry on with normal everyday activities that it’s almost laughable.

But I’m sure it’s the same for everyone everywhere.

So I’m just going to read a few of these notes to keep myself focused (ha!) and smiling.

Cheers!

    Totally not a holiday joke, but one of our family favorites. It’s like the cheese commercial knock knock joke, only we’ve been doing this one for years…long before that commercial ever came out.

    Me: Knock! Knock!
    You: Who’s there?
    Me: Interrupting cow
    You: Interrupt…
    Me interrupting you: MOOOOOO!

    And if the kids try to switch it up with a different animal it’s just hilarious because they’re so used to saying moo that they forget that a cat says meow or a dog says woof! So fun!

My favorite little spot to lay out the mat = โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿงœ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

Use an emoji to tell me yours. 

remember: it doesnโ€™t matter what you do as long as you move your body in some way each day. Total game changer. Promise. 

For me, walking the ๐Ÿ•โ€๐Ÿฆบ๐Ÿถ and ๐Ÿง˜๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธare daily non-negotiables for my physical AND mental health. 

I do the @melissawoodhealth videos each day, and her upbeat, casual attitude, variety of low-impact strengthening workouts, and reminders to just keep coming back are key.

This book is SO different from any other I have read in the recent past, and itโ€™s something that is both refreshing and hopeful. 

My friend @techninjatodd wanted to put out a book that would be a source of hope, a reminder that we are not alone. A testament to the fact that every season of life matters. 

And so, In This Season: Words From the Heart was born, with help from the amazing @apron_education @allylee21 @writtentospeak @omar2764

โ„๏ธโ„๏ธโ„๏ธโ„๏ธ

Life is full of seasons.

Each of us has endured the cold of winter, the growth of spring, the light of summer, and the change of fall. Weโ€™ve climbed to the mountaintops and been deep in the valley.

In This Season: Words for the Heart takes the emotions we feel deep within and puts them into words. The pages of this book invite you to reflect and lean in as you continue through season after season.

๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ

Check this book out, friends. It is worth your time, and it is the perfect book for busy educators to pick up, read a few pages over a quick cup of coffee before the day begins or as you kick up your feet at the end of the day. 

It feels like a quiet conversation with a close friend or dear colleague. Important topics are touched on which remind us that our feelings and thoughts and insecurities are often not as unusual as we may think. Rather, these ups and downs of life are a shared experience that couldโ€”and should!โ€”be shared more frequently and openly. The reminder that we are not alone could not come at a more pivotal time for all of us; in the past two years, we have been reminded that life is short but that seasons change. Letโ€™s make the most of what we have!

Thank you, Todd, LaNesha, Tanner, and Alice for starting this conversation. 

โ˜€๏ธโ˜€๏ธโ˜€๏ธโ˜€๏ธ

Grab it here: https://amzn.to/3O4jMqN

And do follow these great writers, educators, and thought leaders.
