Here’s a guide to the most popular pranks played on April 1st:
What's Up???
As you walk down a busy street, gasp and point up at the sky. Then laugh as everyone around you starts looking up into the sky to see what you are pointing at!
Aliens for Breakfast?
Before you go to bed, add a couple of drops of food colouring to the milk. Your family will be flabbergasted by the alien milk at the breakfast table!
Sleepy Fools!
Get up early and put all the clocks in your house forward by an hour. Declare, after breakfast, that your parents have a spare hour before work. Suggest they spend that extra hour helping you clean your bedroom!
Tied up having Fun?
Tell your teacher that his or her shoelace is untied.
Feeling Thirsty?
Fill a drinks bottle with jelly and let it set. Offer a friend a drink from the bottle and watch as they struggle to drink it!
Remember ...
A good practical joke is when the person you play the joke on laughs along with you. A practical joke is not something that hurts someone or makes someone cry. Avoid playing practical jokes on strangers, young children, pregnant women and elderly people.
