We could all use a little laughter right now – and many of us are also looking for ways to support those impacted by the COVID-19 crisis. While the impacts of COVID-19 affect everyone, children living in poverty are especially vulnerable.
That’s why we’re inviting you and your students to join the virtual Red Nose Day Joke-Ha-Thon, where students can share their best jokes to raise money to support children who are most in need – and raise some spirits too.
How Does Joke-Ha-Thon for Schools Work?
We have reimagined Joke-Ha-Thon to work as an at-home, virtual activity. So even though we’re apart we can still have fun and help others, together.
Follow these easy steps:
-
Have your students learn their jokes or write their own (we’ve got a lesson for that!)
-
Ask parents to post a video of their child telling their joke (or photo of their written joke) on social media including the link to your fundraising page
-
Can’t post on social? You can feature your kids' jokes wherever you share student assignments or even host a livestream class comedy show – just include that fundraising page link!
We will share our favorite videos on the Red Nose Day social channels and celebrate your school and your amazing students with the country!

Your Dollars Will Be Doubled!
Thanks to our friends at Hasbro, money raised for Joke-Ha-Thon will be matched up to $50,000.
