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!
