Knock knock jokes for kids are often the first jokes young kids learn to tell. Usually, their first jokes aren't that funny, but there's something about the predictability of the pattern of a knock knock joke that makes them easy to master.

While the best jokes for kids often rely on multiple meanings or situational humor, funny knock knock jokes are usually plays on the words themselves. That means from toddlers just learning language to tweens that will groan out loud, everyone gets a knock knock joke.

When you’re all done laughing at these knock knock jokes, try our funny school jokes for kids, these corny dad jokes, and more things that bring on the LOLs in our Guide to Humor and Jokes for Kids. Let the silliness begin!

"Random acts of kindness"... this phrase has been used a lot since the mid 90s, when the Random Acts of Kindness Foundation was formed. Random acts of kindness are all about doing nice things for friends, family, and strangers—from simple acts like sharing a smile to larger endeavors such as volunteering at a charity—just for the sake of doing them. The idea is that spreading kindness brightens the day of both the giver and the receiver and encourages the receiver to perform their own random acts of kindness, creating a contagious wave of good deeds.

Of course, adults aren't the only ones who can benefit from random acts of kindness. Teaching kids kindness from a young age helps them learn good manners and respect, increases their own happiness and self-esteem, and helps them grow up to be kind adults.

Need some inspiration? Here are 25 random acts of kindness ideas to share with your children. The list includes random acts of kindness that kids of all ages can do at home, in the community, and at school.
