History Jokes for the classroom. Your welcome.
Teaching 8th grade US History comes with a stigma that history is boring. I know I fight this stigma everyday. One way I fight it is with really corny, pun intended kid jokes that involve history. I find them from the internet, some my students come up with, and even I make a few. Here is a list of some of the greatest hits:
Q: What was George Washington's favorite store?
A:The Dollar General store.
Q: Which one of Washington's generals had the best sense of humor?
A: Lafayette (Laugh-ayette)
General Lee Speaking.... (Generally Speaking)
