Comedy is subjective, especially when children are your intended audience. While you never know exactly what's going to tickle their funny bones — except, it seems, poop jokes, which are always funny to them — you can make some educated guesses. When it comes to the best jokes for kids, knock knock jokes are almost the perfect format. They're in a formula that even the littlest comedy fans can recognize. They offer something familiar, but with a surprise twist at the end. As kids get older, you can see their logic skills working in real time as they try to anticipate the answers. And the knock knock joke format is also easy to memorize when they're ready to start telling jokes themselves.

That's why, when you're spending any time with kids, it's always good to have an arsenal of these gags in your back pocket to deploy at a moment's notice. These are the most hilarious knock knock jokes for kids. They touch on some favorite kid subjects, like food, animals and even their names or their classmates' names. There are some old classics in there that always get kids going, but also some new zingers that they probably haven't heard before. And they're easy to teach to kids who want to repeat them to their friends. Memorize a few of these, and there will never be a dull moment!
