Creative April Fool's Day pranks, jokes and tricks

UNIQUE AND FUN PRANKS

Anticipation

Hint to the victim that you are plotting an April Fool’s Day prank. Then do nothing. It will drive them crazy as they try to anticipate what your trick will be.

Found It First >> new <<

While walking with some friends, lag behind for a minute and secretly drop a $20 (or larger) bill. Then shout “Oh my God,” and just as they look back bend down and pick it up. They’ll be super-jealous that they walked right past it and didn’t see it! Then reveal the trick by saying “April Fool’s!”

Special Day

If you are eating at a restaurant with someone, sneak off to the side and tell your server that it is the person’s birthday. Then watch the surprised look on their face when all the waiters and waitresses come over with a cake and begin singing to them. Even better if you tell the waiters that it’s the victim’s 50th birthday (or add 20 years to their age).

April Fool’s Day Greetings >> new <<

Make your own April Fool’s Day card for someone special! Simply take some card stock, fold it into the shape of a greeting card, and add a “Happy April Fool’s Day” message (either print one on your computer or hand write it). Glue the card tightly shut and let it dry. Then just sit back as the recipient tries desperately to open the card!

Who Said That?

Hide the speaker of a baby monitor in the room where the victim is sitting (under the couch works well). Then make random sounds every 3 or 4 minutes, just enough to drive them crazy, but not enough for them to track down exactly where the sound is coming from.

Scratching Heads

Pour some salt onto your scalp. In front of the victim, begin scratching your head and complain about a terrible itch. When they look at your hair they’ll find the worse case of dandruff they’ve ever seen.

Sticky Opening

Smear some peanut butter on the underside of a doorknob so the victim doesn't see it. Close the door and wait until they open it; then stand back and watch the funny look on their face!

Mummy Madness >> new <<

You need another person to help you with this prank. While your victim is sleeping, take a roll of toilet paper and pass it under and over the bed, wrapping your victim like a mummy. When they wake up they will be stunned!

Buggin'

Put a raisin in your victim's drink (coffee, cola, orange juice, etc.) When they get to the bottom, they'll think there is a bug in their drink. (You might want to use a plastic cup for this one, because they'll probably drop the glass!)

Confetti Cascade >> new <<

Fill several paper cups with confetti. Put them on their sides on the top of each blade of the victim’s ceiling fan. Tape them down. Then just sit and wait for the cascade!
