This is a little joke I played on my 5th grade class this past year. It was 4:30 in the morning two months ago that I woke up with a fiendishly clever idea. This idea was so brilliant that I couldn't help but begin work and keep going nearly until school was nearly ready to begin at 8:20. I wanted it to be awesome. It was April Fool's Day two months ago, and I decided to play a little prank on my class. You see, I've never played a practical joke on my whole class before (at least that I can remember) and I thought that I'd do one this year. Why? Just because. I did a little research. It seems that back in 1976 an astronomer, Patrick Alfred Moore, pulled a prank on BBC radio listeners. He stated that as Pluto passed behind Jupiter, it would cause decreased gravity temporarily on Earth. Hundreds of people were completely faked out. It was brilliant. I decided to recreate the hoax—after all—I'm all about keeping things green and recycling whenever possible. Also, this idea was much too good to NOT use. I copied the HTML code from the Wikipedia as well as the NBC website. I put this code into Dreamweaver (my webpage creation software) and began to rewrite portions of the sites...after all I wanted it to look real. I changed the dates, added information, and made the Wikipedia site not state anywhere in it that this was a hoax which happened in 1976, but rater a late-breaking story which had been on the 11 o'clock news the night before; therefore, many of the students may not ...

3. Pen & Ink. Kids can remove the ink cartridges from most of their parents pens by just unscrewing the pen. Tape all the ink cartridges under a desk or table. Tape a note to the pen that says, "April Fool's Day! If you need to write on top of your desk, today you might be well served to think upside down and inside out, and write on the lowest instead."
4. Getting Dressed. Tie all of Dad's socks together in one long rope. At the end of the last sock, safety pin on a note that says, "April Fool's Day".
5. You're Late, You're Late, For a Very prominent Date. change the current date on the victim's computer calendar to a few years in the future and watch all of the upcoming calendar items pop up as missed items. The victim will have to frame out what has happened.
6. Changing the Sheets. during the day, change the sheets and covers on the victims bed, so the comforter goes down first and the sheets last. Make the bed so the victim's head is where their feet normally are.
7. Reorganize. Move the objects in your food cupboard to your pots cupboard and your pots to where you keep the tupperware and so on. Leave a note in at least one cupboard that says, 'April Fool's Day'. Watch as your parents open and shut cupboards finding for what they need. Anyone you move though, remember you'll probably be the one who will have to put it all back.
8. Blow it All Up. Blow up a container or two of balloons and fill a room with them. Throughout the day, have balloons in silly spots like replacing all his/her toys in his/her toybox with balloons.
9. Lazy Does It. Easy and Fun to Watch, naturally hiding the t.v. Remote control can cause chaos in any home these days. Despite the fact that most of us could just get up and change the channel, we will instead spend hours searching for the remote. For this foolish joke, turn the t.v. On to something you know the victim won't want to watch, then march to hide the remote. A preferable hiding spot would be one where there is a hint that they go covering rather than watch t.v. - perhaps sitting inside their running shoes. Leave notes in some of the inescapable hiding spots with clues to the final destination.
10. Spring is in the Air. Back in the day, kids used to toilet paper people's houses. There are a slew of reasons why that's not a good idea anymore, for which I won't go into now, but I read them all on Mamapedia and many made sense. However, a more innocent and sweet version of this would be to cut out sweet spring decorations and decorate your parents' cars, or kitchen, or bathroom. Using kid safe scissors, draw and cut out lots of flowers and other spring items (ask your educator or someone else adult for help if you need to) and attach them with tape to windows, mirrors or other non-painted surfaces.
10 Foolishly cordial April Fool's Day PranksRep. Fillmore Plays Tasteless April Fools Joke on Arizona's Schools Video Clips. Duration : 1.93 Mins.
Rep. John Fillmore on the floor of the Arizona House of Representatives, mocks Democrats efforts to restore funding for Arizona's schools. Upon taking the microphone, Fillmore began by stating how much he respected the Democrats in fighting for their amendment. He said he rose to support the amendment. However, halfway through the speech, Fillmore exclaimed "April Fools" and derided the amendment saying it was throwing away more of the state's money. This is a far cry from 2006 when Fillmore, then a candidate for the legislature, said he was a supporter of all-day kindergarten.
