What’s a telling bee?

A Telling Bee is something like a Spelling Bee. Except, instead of getting up in front of an audience to try spelling words, you tell funny jokes. Or riddles. Or short poems. You’ll find plenty of them in this book!

It’s just that simple!

Are there any prizes?

There can be, if the organizers of your Telling Bee choose to give out some prizes. Even if there aren’t any prizes, everyone wins! They get to hear lots of good jokes and tricky riddles and funny poems.

AND everyone who tells them gets practice in being up on stage, being funny and getting applause!

Why would we want to have a Telling Bee?

Everybody loves to laugh at a good joke, but not everyone is good at telling a joke. Staging a Telling Bee is a way to help people practice their joke-telling skills and get better! 

You might also have your Telling Bee be part of a special event at school, or at summer camp, or on the bus. There are lots of ways to use a Telling Bee for fun!

It could be part of the Spring Fair at your school. And maybe you could
