Let’s go through each joke card one by one and solve the riddles. These are puns — jokes that play with words or sounds. We’ll figure out the punchline for each.

---

Card 1 (top left):
*Why was 6 afraid of 7?*
This is a classic number joke. Think about what comes after 6… it’s 7, then 8, then 9. But “8” sounds like “ate”. So:
→ 7 ate 9! That’s why 6 is scared.
Punchline: Because seven ate nine!

---

Card 2 (top middle):
*Why did the cookie go to the doctor?*
Cookies can get crumbly when they’re old or broken. “Crummy” means feeling bad or low-quality — and also sounds like “crumb-y”.
Punchline: He felt crummy.

---

Card 3 (top right):
*Why is basketball such a messy sport?*
In basketball, you dribble the ball — bounce it on the floor. “Dribble” sounds like “dribble all over the floor”, which makes a mess. Also, players sweat and leave marks.
Punchline: Because you dribble all over the floor.

---

Card 4 (middle left):
*What do pirates do when they hear music?*
Pirates say “Arrr!” a lot. When they hear music, they might sing along — but in pirate talk, singing becomes “shanty” (like sea shanties). Or maybe they just start dancing? Wait — look at the musical notes and the word “booty”…
Actually, the joke is: Pirates love treasure (“booty”), and when they hear music, they dance — so they “shake their booty”.
Punchline: They shake their booty.

Card 5 (middle center):
*What do elves learn in school?*
Elves work for Santa. They make toys. The alphabet is important for learning. But “elf-abet” sounds like “alphabet”.
Punchline: The elf-abet.

---

Card 6 (middle right — partially covered):
*What did the ocean say to the boat?*
Oceans have waves. Boats ride on waves. The ocean might wave hello.
Punchline: Nothing, it just waved.

---

Card 7 (bottom left):
*What do you do with an old bike?*
Old bikes don’t work well. You might throw them away… or recycle them. But “cycle” is part of “bicycle”. If you’re done with it, you “recycle” it — which sounds like “re-cycle”.
Punchline: You re-cycle it!

---

Card 8 (bottom middle — partially covered):
*What do you call the king of all school supplies?*
School supplies include rulers, pencils, erasers… A ruler measures things — and also rules a kingdom! So if there’s a king of school supplies, it would be the ruler.
Punchline: The ruler!

---

Card 9 (bottom right — mostly covered):
*What do you call a dog that goes to school?*
Dogs bark. In school, students take tests. Maybe the dog takes a “paw-per” test? Or perhaps it’s a “collie” who studies? Actually, think: dogs go to obedience school — but the joke is likely:
A dog in school is a “scholar-dog”? No — better: “What do you call a dog that goes to school?” → “A *pup*-il!” (like pupil = student, and pup = baby dog)
But since this card is mostly hidden, and we see “ON THE SCHOOL BUZZZZ”, maybe it’s about bees? Wait — no, the question says “dog”. Let’s stick with:
Punchline: A pup-il!

Wait — looking again at the visible text: “what do you call the ___ of all school supplies?” — that’s actually Card 8. Card 9 says: “what do you call a dog that goes to school?” — yes, so “pupil” is correct.

But let’s double-check: sometimes it’s “a bark-tender” or something — no, standard joke is “pupil”.

Actually, another common version: “What do you call a dog that does magic tricks? A labracadabrador.” Not relevant here.

Stick with: A pupil!
