Kids Say the Darndest Things

Below is a compilation of actual student bloopers collected by teachers from 8th through 12th grades.

1.Ancient Egypt was inhabited by mummies and they all wrote in hydraulics. They lived in the Sarah Dessert and traveled by Camelot. The climate of the Sarah is such that the inhabitants have to live elsewhere.

2.The Bible is full of interesting caricatures. In the first book of the Bible, Guinessis, Adam and Eve were created from an apple tree. One of their children, Cain, asked, "Am I my brother's son?"

3.Moses led the Hebrew slaves to the Red Sea, where they made unleavened bread which is bread made without any ingredients. Moses went up on Mount Cyanide to get the ten commandments. He died before he ever reached Canada.
4.Solomom had three hundred wives and seven hundred porcupines.

5.The Greeks were a highly sculptured people, and without them we wouldn't have history. The Greeks also had myths. A myth is a female moth.

6.Actually, Homer was not written by Homer but by another man of that name.
7.Socrates was a famous Greek teacher who went around giving people advice. They killed him. Socrates died from an overdose of wedlock. After his death, his career suffered a dramatic decline.

8.In the Olympic games, Greeks ran races, jumped, hurled the biscuits, and threw the java.

9.Eventually, the Romans conquered the Greeks. History calls people Romans because they never stayed in one place for very long.

  2. Hi Steve,
    One of my favorite student blooper came from a student writing about our Salem field trip. She wrote that it was good when they got a chance to play outside for a bit because they had an opportunity to blow off some self-esteem.

  3. I fess up...I was the source of a blooper. Several years after having evaluated a child and written their report, I came across the report. The title was "Sharon Pubic Schools". Spell check thought it was fine.
