Benefits of Jokes for Middle Schoolers
Jokes can really help middle school students in many ways. When kids share jokes, they make friends more easily and feel like they belong. When teachers are fun and entertaining in class, students pay better attention and learn more. Sharing jokes gets their creative juices flowing and gets middle schoolers thinking outside the box while trying to come up with the answer on their own.
Laughter is Healthy for Middle Schoolers
Laughing is actually good for your health! When you laugh, your body makes less stress hormones and more feel-good chemicals called endorphins. Laughter first raises your blood pressure, then lowers it, which helps you relax. We may not realize how much stress that middle schoolers experience, and laughter can really help them deal with difficult times. That being said, I hope you share one of these jokes with someone today!
