A family moved into a new house. Little did they know it was haunted. The ghost there was very shy. When the family sat down for dinner, the ghost peeked out from under the table. The kids thought it was their puppy at first. When they realized it was a ghost, instead of being scared, they invited him to eat. The ghost was so shy that he just shook his head. But when the mom offered him a piece of pie, he couldn't resist. He ate it so fast that he got hiccups, which made the whole family laugh.
Well, a great funny kids short story usually has vivid descriptions that kids can picture in their minds. Take 'The Gingerbread Man' for instance. The description of the gingerbread man running away from all the characters, shouting 'Run, run as fast as you can, you can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man' is very vivid. And it often contains some sort of repetition which kids love. They can easily remember and repeat parts of the story, which adds to the fun. It also should have a positive ending, like most of these classic short stories do, which leaves kids feeling good.
There is a joke. Little Johnny's teacher asks, 'If I gave you 2 cats and another 2 cats and another 2, how many would you have?' Little Johnny replies, 'Seven.' The teacher says, 'No, listen carefully... If I gave you two cats, and another two cats and another two, how many would you have?' Little Johnny says, 'Seven.' The teacher, getting frustrated, asks, 'How on earth do you get seven?' Johnny says, 'Because I've already got a cat!' It's a simple and funny short story for kids.

The story of the 'Scary Shadow'. A little boy was in his room at night. He saw a huge, menacing shadow on the wall. He was so scared that he hid under the covers. But then his mother came in with a flashlight. It was just his teddy bear's shadow made huge by the angle of the lamp. The boy laughed and hugged his teddy.
One element is the innocence of kids. Kids see the world in a different way. They might misinterpret things in a really cute and funny way. Another is the simple situations they get into. A simple act like giving a pet a bath can turn into a hilarious event because of their inexperience. And of course, the reactions of the kids themselves. Their over - the - top reactions to normal things are what make these stories so funny.
