When Spy Week ended at my library, I did some quick thinking and transformed the table into a Joke Station. I was inspired by April Fool's Day, but this is something that would work any time of year.
I left up the black paper, and just cut out some colorful circles. By the end of the month all the circles had funny faces drawn on them--an unintended result that was quite delightful.
Then I pulled all the library's joke books, and by the end of the month only one of them hadn't been checked out. Circ-booster!
I put out a binder with page protecters, and half-sheets that invited the kids to draw or write their favorite joke or trick.
Easy, simple, fun! I had about forty entries overall, and these were some of the first few entries:

This kid wrote out the ENTIRE "Eats, shoots, and leaves" joke. |
We did this in April too. Lots of booger jokes here.
