Are you looking to add some humor to your class?
We had a “Funday Punday Monday” at our school where kids and teachers brought in puns to share. I rounded up some fun art-related puns you could use in your class. Sidenote: When I read these in class and I asked “Why did the artist go to the bathroom?” One of my second graders called out (without missing a beat) “because he was consti-painted!” That was a new answer and actually better than the original!!
Enjoy!
Also if you are having a pun day fun day, you should hang up these “tearable” pun posters.
