INSTRUCTIONS 

1. Use a pen or pencil to draw 2-3 circles on the yellow adhesive-backed paper. 
2. Use permanent markers to turn the circles on yellow paper into laughing, silly emoji faces. Also write the words “Joke Jar” on the yellow paper. Cut out the circles and cut around the words. 
3. Decorate the covered container by peeling and sticking the adhesive-backed words and emojis to the container’s sides and lid. 
4. Cut the colored paper or card stock into pieces that are 2-3 inches square. 
5. Write jokes on the paper squares, fold them in half to hide the jokes, and place them in the jar. 
6. Place the jar on your dinner table or in an area where your family gathers. Take turns drawing a paper out of the jar and reading the jokes aloud.
