Jaimito Jokes for Kids in Spanish
Every language has its prototype of a witty kid. The English language has its Billy jokes; Spanish replaces his name with “Jaimito” ( little Jaime) or Pepito (little José). These two boys might seem a bit silly, but they always outsmart other people.
Jaimito and the teacher
🇪🇸
En la escuela, la maestra dice:
– A ver, Jaimito, ¿cómo te imaginas la escuela ideal?
Juanito le contesta:
– Cerrada, maestra, cerrada.

Let’s see, Jaimito, how do you imagine your ideal school?
Jaimito answers:
Shut down, madam. Shut down.

– Señor, ¿cuánto cuesta el bus?
El chofer le responde:

Jaimito gets on a bus and asks the driver,
– Sir, how much is the bus?
The driver answers:

Jaimito and the bicycle

“Cuidado con el perro.”
Mira al perro y se sorprende de ver lo pequeñito que es.
Habla con su amigo y le dice:

Puns in Spanish to Practice the Double Meaning of Words
Do you know the jokes that use words or phrases with multiple meanings? Or words that sound the same? They are called “puns,” and you can find lots of them in Spanish.
Let’s see if you can find the pun in the jokes below:
Fire in the zoo
🇪🇸
En el zoológico dos jirafas conversan y una le dice a la otra:
– ¿Supiste que ayer incendiaron la jaula del oso?
Su amiga, curiosa, pregunta:
– ¿Y de quién se sospecha?
Y la otra le contesta:
– Se dice que fue la llama.
🇬🇧
In the zoo, two giraffes are talking, and one says to the other one:
– Have you heard that someone burned down the bear’s cage?
Her curious friend asks:
– Whom do they suspect?
And the other one answers:
– They say it was the llama.
Did you get it? Well, of course! “Llama” can mean two things in Spanish. One is an animal name, and the other is “flame.”
A duck and a pig
🇪🇸
Un pato y un chancho salieron a caminar. Llegaron a un puente y al cruzarlo el chancho se cayó al agua.
El chancho asustado le grita al pato:
– ¿Qué hago, Pato, qué hago?
Y el pato le grita de vuelta:
– ¡Nada, chancho, nada!
Y asi fue como el chancho se ahogó.
🇬🇧
A duck and a pig went for a walk. They arrived at a bridge, and when crossing it, the pig fell into the water.
The scared pig screams:
– What do I do, duck, what do I do?
And the duck screams back:
– Swim, pig, swim.
And this is how the pig drowned.
🇪🇸 Test Your Spanish Knowledge 🇪🇸
Hmmm, why did the pig drown if the duck told him to swim? Very simple: “nada” also means “nothing” in Spanish. And since the pig did nothing, no wonder he didn’t survive.
The sinner
🇪🇸
Un hombre arrepentido va a la iglesia para confesarse. Le pregunta al cura:
– ¿Qué puedo hacer con mis pecados, padre?
El cura le contesta:
– Ora, hijo. Ora.
El hombre, un poco confundido, le dice:
– Son las tres y media, padre, pero no me ha contestado mi pregunta.
🇬🇧
A remorseful man goes to church to confess. He asks the priest:
– What can I do about my sins, father?
The priest answers:
– Pray, my son, pray.
The man, a little confused, says:
– It’s half-past three, father, but you haven’t answered my question.
Struggling to understand the pun? Let me give you a hint: “ora” (pray) and “hora” (hour) sound exactly the same. 😉
