These St. Patrick’s Day jokes for kids are a simple way to add some silliness to your day. You can print one joke book for each student as a fun St. Patrick’s Day surprise, or keep a copy in your classroom and read a few St. Patrick’s Day jokes aloud throughout the day.
Kids absolutely love having a joke to tell. Once you share these, be prepared to hear them repeated all week long. My favorite was when a student would come tell me a joke… that I had told them earlier that day.

Looking for a Meaningful St. Patrick’s Day Activity?
If you want a St. Patrick’s Day activity that turns into a keepsake, my Worth More Than Gold writing craft is one of my favorite activities to do with students.
Students write about someone in their life who is worth more to them than gold. The responses are always incredibly sweet, and the finished craft creates a beautiful March bulletin board.
Parents love reading these, and many teachers tell me their students end up saving them for years.
