Winter brings the calmness of snow flurries and cozy days by the fire … oh, who are we kidding? Winter shenanigans, indoor recess, and cabin fever can take the fun out of winter. That’s where these 111 winter jokes come in.
Brittany Phillips, 5th grade teacher, uses a daily joke or riddle to wrap up morning meeting. “I think incorporating jokes into the classroom helps kids with critical thinking and social cues,” Phillips told We Are Teachers. Phillips has found that even big kids who are too cool for jokes still enjoy a good eye roll or pun. Follow Phillips for more teacher ideas on Instagram @MrsPhillipsN5th.

Why teachers love winter jokes
When it’s cold outside and kids come in needing to warm up, having a set of jokes on hand can be the perfect way to start a day, especially if you need to reset the tone of your morning. If you post jokes or use our slides, the short questions and answers are great for lower or reluctant readers. And, they’re good for brain breaks. Phillips incorporates jokes into her students’ snack time.
Ways to use winter jokes in the classroom
When you use jokes is up to you, but here are some times when a joke might be just the thing:
- Morning news: If your school has a morning news crew, students can read a joke over the intercom each morning.
- Morning meeting: Have students pull a joke from a jar to read aloud.
- Joke of the day: Add it to morning work.
- Fast-finisher activity: Print a “joke book” of winter jokes for students to read if they finish early. Chances are you’ll hear them repeating the jokes at lunch.
- Writing warm up: Post a joke and ask students to write down potential answers. Can they create unexpected, but sensible, answers?
- Indoor recess: Turn a snowy or cold day into a comedy session by having students take the mic to ask each other jokes.
