Vocabulary Showcase: Synonyms for “laugh”

What is the best sound in the world? Kids laughing. I used to live next to a play school when I lived in Germany, and my favourite time of day was when they came outside to play over lunch time. “Laugh” is a bit of a simple verb though, isn’t it? How about we find some new words that mean the same thing!

·         (old fashioned) Peter guffaws as Alice plays a prank on their mother.

Ok, so Peter and Alice are sneaky little monkeys but the sound of them having fun makes every day feel better. Personally, I am a giggler, a chuckler, and a sniggerer. How do you howl?
