My kids all went through a phase where they loved to tell jokes. The sillier the jokes, the better. And include any bathroom humor, and they would be in stitches! We started telling knock-knock jokes to our younger kids because they liked their repetitiveness and format. A funny knock-knock joke can even break the ice with a grumpy teen or tween. When it comes to jokes, knock-knock jokes for kids are hard to beat!
I was curious about the history of these corny jokes. After a deep dive on the internet, I found that scholars think Shakespeare’s Macbeth, written in the early 1600s, has the earliest written knock-knock joke.1 The modern form of the knock-knock joke was developed in the 1930s.2 There is even a National Knock Knock Joke Day on October 31! It seems appropriate, don’t you think?
Wherever they came from, they are a classic form of lighthearted entertainment for kids and adults of all ages. Without further ado, here are 101 knock knock jokes for kids!
