Attention all kids! Our nation needs you! For too long, our spirits have been lower than a snail's belly and we're counting on YOU to turn our frowns upside down with your awesome jokes, funny gags and blam LOLZ!

Because at Beano, we understand and believe in the feel-good power of laughter. So, together with our good friends YoungMinds, the UK's leading charity fighting for children and young people’s mental health, we want to help spread smiles and laughs to as many people as we can with this year’s search for Britain’s Funniest Class!

To help kids, this year we’ve created a new Bouncebackability lesson with YoungMinds – Release Your Resilience. This free lesson, linked to the KS1 and KS2 curriculum can be taught as a half an hour PSHE lesson or an hour-long English lesson. Teachers and grown ups, you can find it on the Beano For Schools website link found at the bottom of the page!

So what kind of comedy standards should you be aiming for when you enter this year's Britain’s Funniest Class competition? Well, last year, Class 5B from Forthill Primary School in Dundee, were deservedly crowned winners in 2021 with the following gag...

Hilarious, right? But do you think that you and your class could do even better? We're on the search for a new class bursting with funny and it could be you and your classmates!

So, if you think your class is total LOLZ, go to Beano For Schools and enter to see if you can be voted Britain's Funniest Class!
