Jokes! Kids love ’em — especially dumb ones. And luckily for parents who like to show off their dad jokes, kids don’t mind a dumb joke that’s silly or stupid. Despite those angsty years, some youngsters are more interested in laughing than criticizing, even if a joke isn’t exactly clever. These jokes for 5-year-olds are bad news for parents of older kids, as there are only a few years of what we’ll call the pre-tween era, in which your kids will enjoy these dumb jokes. So we recommend telling as many as possible.
We’re talking puns, corny jokes, knock-knock jokes, and other stupid jokes that would make any sane adult groan. It’s important to savor these fleeting moments when these terrible funnies are still met with laughs. This collection of dumb jokes and silly riddles for kids will get you started, and when the stakes are this low, the options are limitless. So study up, and keep these jokes in your back pocket.
