Good April Fool's Day Pranks?

[Hawayman]

As we are a week away, does anyone have any good April Fool's Day pranks I can use?

A friend of mine pranked me pretty well last year, so I need something foolproof this year! (Don't want to say what it was, too outing!)

Please don't suggest anything cruel or harmful. Lighthearted, harmless, jokes only!

I don't know. But I won't believe any "news" about Brexit that morning...

I pranked the kids with afternoon tea last year...yellow watermelon and purple carrots.....neither of which i usually buy and which they had never seen..

Last year I put my husbands morning glass of orange juice in the freezer

Thus year I plan on poking a sewing needle into a banana (skin on) wiggling it around to slice it, doing this a few times across the length of the banana. Apparently when peeled the cut chunks just fall out

My best was when I went to changed a child's nappy then came out of the toilet eating the contents of the nappy. Nutella on a clean nappy is highly effective!

Two years ago the dc cut a giant B out of card and went running to their df saying there was a giant bee in their room.

Last year I unwrapped some choc eggs and rewrapped some toy wooden eggs in the wrapping and gave them out.

I once cut the letter E out of cardboard and told my daughter I had some brownies for her. (Brown Es)

As schoolkids we taped newspaper over the door to our classroom from outside, and arranged for our tutor to be called to reception

My nephew, during his gap year, called my sister to say that he'd been arrested in Thailand for possession of drugs and was looking at 20 years in a Thai prison. She's a lawyer and went into "legal advice" mode. She said she'd never been as relieved as when he said "April fool, Mum".

Put a leek(veg type) in the bathroom then say ‘there’s a leek in the bathroom’

Fluffy beat me too it, I did that with my carer.

Some good ones here

Also the anti prank prank, take in a box of cakes/doughnuts with a sign saying, 'happy April fool's day' and watch people try to work out what you have done.

I intend on sending my adult ds an envelope of plastic spiders to his place of work....

Last week he rang my to go round and remove a huge live one from his carpet.

From standing on a coffee table..
He is 24!!!

One year a friend of mine was round for a cuppa & while I was in the kitchen making drinks she put googly eyes on all my ornaments & pictures. Took me ages to notice!

I used to sellotape a 'wall of newspaper' to my dsis's bedroom door frame so she'd have to burst her way through it to get out.
That was fun.

What a fab thread!

I made up a story one year that DP had proposed. Was pretty funny because it's most unlikely and everyone believed me.

I have also done simple Knock Down Ginger to great effect.

Before the days of mobile phones I once changed all the clocks to an hour earlier. (ex) h went to work an hour earlier.
He wasn't amused.

I have used the spare key to my mum's, let myself in while she was out and put Google eyes on the contents of the fridge

clingfilm over the toilet or door

I’ve got a fake poo ready to take to work but trying to work out where to put it. It’s actually very realistic as it’s not hard plastic!

When my sister and I were still children at home (ages ago) we were often cross with Mum because she was always late . Even though we helped her a lot.
One year on April 1st she had invited some people for dinner.
At about 11am we put all the clocks forward an hour. When she saw the time she really put her skates on, and was early for once.

Blue food dye in milk, say the smurfs have visited.

No such thing.

A boyfriend persuaded the receptionist where I worked to call me for a large parcel delivery (I ran a workshop, so large, heavy boxes were normal). Went to check the label and he burst out of it.

Frightened the life out of me, I cried, called him a fucking prick, got told I was a humourless bitch who couldn't take a fucking joke and everybody else in the place who had been primed to watch the CCTV and was watching thought it was hilarious - and turned to face the big boss standing there with some immensely important potential clients. They didn't sign the multimillion pound contract.

And mine was terminated.

The coordination test; works well on children. Hold your hands a foot apart, and tell someone to move their own hands back and forth between yours, without touching them. Let them practise, then tell them the real challenge is to do it for two minutes, without seeing. Blindfold them so there's no cheating, let them feel where your hands are... then walk away quietly, leaving them moving their hands from side to side, for no reason!

I'm going to put a fake poo in their breakfast cereal packet 😂
