Spring is here and it’s been raining off and on for the past couple days. We can’t get outside the way we like to. Charlie has been bored and so have I. I shared a new book I had gotten with Charlie and David. The book is called LOL 101: A Kid’s Guide to Writing Jokes by David Roth and Rinee Shah Illustrated by Rinee Shah for a review. Inside this post is my affiliate links. If you click on the links and make a purchase I will make a small percentage from the products you purchase.
Even though Charlie has graduated I sill share Homeschool Lessons for parents to use. . One of the classes Charlie took when he was in school was creative writing. If Charlie had still been in school we would have used LOL 101: A Kid’s Guide to Writing Jokes.
Then Charlie would have been able to learn how to write jokes, Once the jokes was written Charlie would have been able to practice the jokes in his Drama Class putting on his own Comedy Show. I thought your family could do the same.
I would like to thank the LORD and the Author/ PR Company for bringing me a copy of LOL 101: A Kid’s Guide to Writing Jokes because the book is going to make Creative Writing and Homeschooling so much easier and more fun not only for Charlie but our friends and family as well.
I can’t wait to let Charlie know the book was written by David Roth which will capture Charlie’s attention because David is his dads name and also his Cousins. I can see Charlie sharing LOL 101: A Kid’s Guide to Writing Jokes with all of his friends.
Charlie can ask all of his friends to write there own jokes then we can host a joke writing contest open to adults and children alike. Would you like to join us? Yes, Dad Jokes count because I know David is going to be the first person to sign up. Who do you think in your family would want to join us and why?
Using LOL 101: A Kid’s Guide to Writing Jokes Charlie can practice performing in front of an audience which will prepare him for job hunting. If the event takes off the way I hope it does it could become a yearly competition.
My families favorite part of the book is how the Author begins with an introduction to jokes and goes over when a good time to tell a joke is. The Author even included jokes we can share with our families and see if there is surprise like the Author mentions in the book
There were words Charlie had to figure out what they meant like “wordplay” which you could use in your spelling class. Did you know you can write your words backward to write your jokes with? Neither did my family.
Have you heard of a “rule-of-three-joke? I f not then you must pick up a copy of LOL 101: A Kid’s Guide to Writing Jokes so your prepared when writing your jokes. I love how there is examples of things to write about which we can in our contest.
I’ve decided not to share anymore of the book with you instead I would like for you to pick up a copy LOL 101: A Kid’s Guide to Writing Jokes to share with your friends and family. Both adults and children will enjoy this book and be rolling on the floor once they read all of the jokes included in the book.
