S.P.A.G. LOLZ!

2: “KNOCK-KNOCK!”

KS2

• Learn how to EXPAND nouns into phrases
• RECOGNISE question words
• PERFORM knock-knock jokes with a friend

TODAY’S CHALLENGE:

WHAT IS ‘FUNNY’?

• What does ‘funny’ mean?
• What happens when we find something funny?
• Does that make you feel good or bad?
• Why do we tell jokes to other people?

WHAT IS A KNOCK-KNOCK JOKE?

• Knock-knock!
• Who’s there?
• Shirley.
• Shirley who?
• Shirley you can see who it is – I’m standing right in front of you!
• Knock-knock jokes are always told the same way
• They’re little conversations between two people separated by a door
• The first and second lines are always the same
• The third line is always a NOUN (someone’s first name)
• The fourth line always asks for their surname
• The fifth line is always a PHRASE which expands on the person’s name in an

unexpected way

HOW DO KNOCK-KNOCK JOKES WORK?

• Knock-knock jokes are little conversations
• They expand a noun into an unexpected phrase
• In our joke on the last slide, the noun is Shirley
• The expanded phrase is Shirley you can see who I am
• The joke works because Shirley sounds the same as Surely, but means

something different – they are homophones (remember them?)

THE NAME GAME!

• Write down as many names as you can
• Now write down words which sound like those names. Here are a few

to get you started:

• Shirley sounds like Surely
• Carrie sounds like Carry
• Abbie sounds like Happy
• Andrew sounds like Ann drew

NOW, USE YOUR NAMES AND SOUND-ALIKES TO MAKE UP YOUR OWN KNOCK-KNOCK JOKES!

• Take one of the names you thought of, and use it as your noun
• Now, take its sound-alike word and expand it into a phrase
• We’ll use Carrie as our noun, and its sound-alike is Carry
• The expanded phrase is Carry me in
• Knock-knock!
• Who’s there?
• Carrie.
• Carrie who?
• Carry me in, I’m exhausted!

QUESTION TIME!

• Some words are used to ask questions
• Knock-knock jokes use who – Who’s there?
• Can you think of more question words which start with W?
• Are there any other question words?
• Try thinking of as many questions as you can, and see which words

can be used to ask a question

YOU’RE ALMOST DONE…

Answer these questions to finish today’s challenge:

• Can you take a noun and expand it into a phrase?
• Can you spot question words when you see them?
• Write down the joke you created today that you like best!

WELL DONE!

NOW GO AND MAKE SOMEONE HAPPY BY TELLING THEM YOUR KNOCK-KNOCK JOKES!
