    These notes can help put a smile on a child's face, and this is so important because you never know what kind of day your child is having at school. Maybe there was a disagreement before your child left for school, and they were upset at drop-off.

    Perhaps they had a negative interaction with a classmate, and their feelings got hurt. Whatever the situation, sometimes your child will not have a great day at school. These lunch box jokes for kids are perfect for those occasions and any time you want to send a laugh to school.

        I use these with students through out our school! I will just stop them and say, "Hey, I have a question..... Why don't eggs tell jokes? ... intrigued... they look at me..." I think it is a great way to reset and lighten their mood. If I have them printed out, then I will give it to them so they can use it with their friends. A gift that keeps on giving! School is such a grind at times. I love that you are sharing these with us! They are great!

          Hi Ashley,

          Thank you so much for sharing how you’re using these jokes with your students! You’re so right, school can be a grind at times, and sometimes all it takes is a little laugh to turn the day around.

          Your students are so lucky to have someone like you who takes the time to make their days a little brighter.

          Thanks again for sharing this! It makes my day to hear the ways these jokes are being used. Teachers are underpaid and undervalued (I was one for many years). We need more people like you! Keep up the amazing work and know you’re making a difference! 😊

        my daughter is still not old enough to where she takes a lunch to school, but when she is this is definitely something I want to do. I also love the Tupperware you use

        This is so clever and fun! My mom would always include a cute note with my lunch, but a joke is also so cute!
