Need a good prank to pull on someone April 1st? Try one (or more) of these!
| | Big Winner - Some of the best April Fool's pranks take a bit of pre-planning. Buy a lottery ticket and give it to the victim on March 31. The next day go out early and buy another ticket with the exact same numbers as the WINNING numbers from the day before. Put this ticket in the place of the ticket from the day before. Wait for them to check the numbers in the paper. They probably won’t notice the different date, and will think they just became a millionaire! |
| | Early Bird - Set the victim’s alarm clock for the middle of the night and hide it somewhere in the room where they will have to get up and scramble around to turn it off. (This works even better if you sneak in after they go to sleep and unscrew the light bulb in their lamp. Then they’ll have to search for the clock in the dark!) |
| | Egg Boil Trick - Sneakily get the eggs from someone’s refrigerator and hard-boil them all. Then put them back where you found them. |
| | The Hidden Snake - All you need is a rubber snake and some fishing line. Tie the fishing line around the snake and then attach the other end of the line to the inside of a cupboard or anything that opens and closes. Set it up so that when they open the door/cupboard the snake will jump out when they do. This is a totally easy prank to pull off. |
| | Snakes in the Cookie Jar Prank - You know those spring snakes that pop out of can. Their effect is magnified when people are sneaking around grabbing food they shouldn’t be touching. Works well in a lunch box. |
| | Chocolate Pudding in your Pants Prank - This one is a little gross but still funny. Put some chocolate pudding in a plastic bag. Stick that bag in your pants. Complain that your bum is itchy, stick your hand in the pudding bag, pull it out and look disgusted and embarrassed then lick it off your hands. |
| | Chocolate Bar in the Pool - Drop a candy bar in the pool. Make sure other people see it floating. Be the hero and get the bar out of the pool. Then grab it and take a big bite. |
| | I am Growing or Shrinking Prank - If you can get the exact same clothes as they are wearing and get them a size smaller or bigger, well you can figure out the rest. |
| | Why is My Stuff in Here? - Every day take a small object from one room and place it in a different room. Repeat until room is empty. |
| | Change the Present Prank - If you have a relative that is getting on in years this is what you do. Intercept the present from the older one to the target and carefully unwrap the present. Put the present aside and wrap up something really obscure like empty soda cans or an old phone book. Put the to/from tag back on the package and place back under tree. |
| | Change the Present Prank #2 - If you get a present - carefully unwrap it and put in another present. Then carefully wrap up the new present the way it was. Put the tag and ribbon back and place under the tree. Make sure you open the "New" present in front of the giver. When you pull it out act like you are faking happiness with your new present. This will confuse the givers immensely. |
| | Over Wrapping Trick - Just keep wrapping and wrapping and wrapping. Use old pieces of wrapping paper so that you don't turn into an environmental abuser. |
| | Combine the Lousy Chocolates Prank - You know when you get a box of chocolates it always seems like you eat all the good ones first and there is always the weird ones left over. When you have a couple of boxes full of lousy candies - combine them to make a new present. Then watch them use the index to try and find the good chocolates. |
| | Picking Names Prank - When you play Secret Santa and put all the names in a hat. Just put your name on all the tags. |
| | Double Surprise Party - If you want to plan a surprise party make up a date for a regular birthday party the week after you want to do the surprise. Then you can get a list of people that the target wants invited to the party except that it is now a surprise party - a week early. Works like a charm. |
| | Three Way Calling - Using three way calling see if you can hook up two people who don't know each other. A confused conversation should go something like this, "Who is this?", "Who is this?", "Why did you call me?", "Call you? You called me!"... |
| | Mouse Trap - Take a Post-It note and place it over the eye of the victim’s optical mouse. When the victim tries to use his or her computer, the cursor won’t move. Be sure to write “April Fools!” on the note! (Note if they have a standard mouse, you can perform the same trick by taping a piece of paper over the ball underneath the mouse.) |
| | Typo Trouble - Carefully pop off a few of the keys from the victim’s keyboard. Switch them around and replace them. If the victim is a “hunt and peck” typist, this will cause great confusion! |
