IntroductionWelcome to Cursive Writing Practice: Jokes & Riddles! In the hustle and
bustle of a hectic school day, cursive writing often gets short shrift. With
reading, writing, math, science, and social studies to learn, few students
have the time or inclination to perfect the fine art of the loop-the-loop.
What a shame! Clear cursive writing is one of the best tools available to
kids for efficient note taking and self-expression.
That’s where these lively practice pages come in! In as little as five
minutes a day, you can spur students to spruce up their cursive writing.
Just reproduce and pass out a page, then sit back and watch kids move
their pencils with levity and care. Why? Because the simple act of
rewriting an amusing joke or riddle motivates them to master the shape,
size, spacing, slant, and curve of model script.
And here’s more good news: The completed practice pages can be
quickly bound into instant joke-and-riddle books to share with family
and friends. Can you think of a cooler way to showcase a child’s carefully
crafted script? I can’t.
Read on to discover more tips for using this resource to improve
your students’ cursive writing and, in so doing, their essential
communication skills.

This book has been designed for easy use. Before embarking on the joke and riddle pages, it’s a good idea to review the basics. Do so by distributing the upper- and lowercase practice pages to students. These sheets include arrows showing the standard way to form each letter in cursive. As students complete these pages, circulate around the room looking for writing “red flags”—that is, kids who are forming their letters in nonstandard ways. If you notice an error, approach the student and model standard formation. This will help students rewire their cursive writing habits, which will improve both the clarity and speed of their printing down the road.
Once students have reviewed the basics, they’re ready to enjoy the joke and riddle pages. These pages can be reproduced in any sequence you choose. Here are some simple routines for sharing them:
Cursive Writing Starters Place a practice page on each student’s desk to complete first thing in the morning.
Cursive Writing Center Stock a table with a “practice page of the day” for students to complete independently.
Cursive Writing Homework Send home a page each night for students to complete in addition to the rest of their homework.
Cursive Writing Folders Create personal cursive writing folders filled with photocopies of the pages for students to complete at their own pace.
Making a Joke & Riddle BookletOnce students have completed their pages, they can follow these simple directions to make personal booklets. Note: The booklets can comprise as many pages as you like. They need not include every page.
1. Cut the pages along the dashed lines, discarding the top portions.
2. Optional: Photocopy the blank booklet sheet on page 47 to add original jokes and riddles to the booklet.
3. Photocopy the booklet cover on page 48.
4. Place the booklet cover on top of the stacked pages in any order you choose.
5. Staple the book along the left-hand side.
6. Color the booklet covers and interior pages.
7. Share the booklet with family and friends.
