About 6 years ago, I was teaching English in Costa Rica. One day, something came up in class that made me think of a joke. I think we were talking about animal paws, and it reminded me of the joke about the dog with the bandage on his foot that walks into a bar looking for the man who shot his paw. I told the joke to the class, and they loved it. From then on, I started telling more jokes until I was doing one per day. The students looked forward to the jokes, and I was amazed at their attention.
Now that I’m teaching Spanish, I’ve been coming back to jokes as a way to sneak in some highly interesting input at the beginning of each class. Last year, I told a joke per day all year. It is not easy to come up with a joke each day that is:
1. funny in Spanish
2. comprehensible
3. appropriate for school
Despite some groaning at the bad ones, most students enjoyed the jokes. My biggest regret was that I did not make a list of the jokes as I was telling them. I had no record after the year. So this year, I am keeping track of the jokes to use them again in the future.
Here is a link to the jokes I’ve used so far. I will continue to upload throughout the year.

I’m looking forward to following this thread!
How can I access your google doc ? When I clicked on the link above – it said SIGN IN?
Boo! I’ll look into it. I thought it was public for all to see. Sorry.
I uploaded it again and made sure it was set for anyone to view without signing in. I signed out myself to check it, and I was able to open it. Let me know if it still doesn’t work. Thanks.
Four years later and I still look at your Chistes list. I have done so many versions of the first one El ladron y el banco. I have been able to incorporate much of my structures into it. Today I put in it se asusto, se acerco, busco, vio que habia lo llevo se escapo y salto. Of course it was a review of the words but it worked out great with what we had been studying for a few days. Thanks for sharing. I love it!!
