Frequently Asked Questions (Fun & Useful)
What exactly is a pun?
A pun is a form of wordplay that uses similar-sounding words or double meanings to create humour. In Valentine’s Day puns, we often replace a word in a common phrase with a love- or food-related word. Example: “I love you a waffle lot” instead of “a whole lot”.
Are these puns appropriate for kids and classrooms?
