ADVENT CALENDAR CHRISTMAS JOKES
CHRISTMAS COUNTDOWN CALENDARS
Whether you make our paper chain advent calendar below or just use the Christmas jokes on their own, kids will love listening to a new Christmas joke each day. My son loves to hear jokes and tell jokes, so I thought a Christmas jokes countdown calendar would be a simple and fun activity to add to the holiday season that is totally frugal and anyone can make.

CHRISTMAS PAPER CHAIN COUNTDOWN
SUPPLIES:
- Paper {choose any colors you like}.
- Pens or markers
- Scissors and tape or stapler
- Christmas jokes for kids!
HOW TO MAKE CHRISTMAS JOKES ADVENT CALENDAR
STEP 1. Cut strips of paper.
You need 25 total of whatever colors you choose. I chose to alternate green and red paper.
STEP 2. Write out your Christmas joke on one side of the strip of paper. Make sure to put the chain together with the jokes on the inside of the paper chain!
STEP 3. Secure each paper chain with a piece of tape or use a stapler.
You could also put your kid’s Christmas jokes into a jar and pull out a new one each day. I made our 25 days of kids Christmas jokes into a pair chain to hang for a decoration too. Each day we will remove a link from the bottom until there is only one left for Christmas day!
CHRISTMAS JOKES FOR KIDS
Kids have tons of fun with jokes. I found a variety of Christmas jokes for kids including Santa jokes, elf jokes, and snowman jokes that were age appropriate and quite funny. I tested a couple just to make sure.
25 Christmas jokes for kids makes sure you will be telling silly jokes all season long. Make sure to read the previous ones again too. My son has been memorizing them to tell his friends on the bus!
