The first day of April is not the easiest day of the year, and this is not due to weather changes or the beginning of the summer season. This day has long entered our lives as the most mischievous and humorous day of the year.
It is on this day, absolutely everywhere, that you can find yourself in an absurd situation that will bring a smile to your face and the faces of those around you. And in order not to be left out, you need to come up with your own pranks for April 1st.
How to play a prank or joke correctly
When choosing jokes and pranks for friends or close circle, as well as for work colleagues, it is worth remembering a few very important rules. Otherwise, a simple joke can lead to catastrophic consequences.
What topics are best not to joke about:
- Religion. This topic very personal, and is perceived by many as a dogma of life and any attempt to joke about it can lead to an unpleasant result.
- Country of residence or homeland. Many people, without realizing it themselves, are patriots, especially if for some reason they are outside its aisles. Jokes in this area can affect a person too much.
- Complex life situations . This includes many points; any person does not like it when others make fun of his problems.
- Illness or physical impairment. It’s not even worth talking about such topics, let alone joking.
- Intimate relationships. This topic is very personal and should not concern the public.
It’s very easy to come up with a prank without touching on these topics; you just have to pay attention to your opponent, communicate, and find common topics.
Remember, any jokes should be cool and funny, and understandable to absolutely everyone present, but they should not hurt or offend anyone.
Examples of pranks at school
Jokes at school can be divided into two types: jokes for classmates and jokes from the teacher. If everything is clear with the first point, then it’s worth thinking carefully about the second. However, it’s the first of April!
The oldest joke is that a chalkboard and soap have a killer effect, but how the teacher will react is completely unclear, and besides, you can only wash off the soap from the blackboard with hot water, and not even the first time.
Take a cardboard box and cover it with bright paper, then cut out the bottom. Placed on a cabinet or other elevated surface in the classroom. Through open top part fill the box with confetti. The teacher will definitely see it and try to take it off; in extreme cases, you can ask him to take it out; after the first attempt, he will be showered with confetti. You can do the same with your classmates.
Warn all classmates that you will give all answers to the teacher not orally, but in a chant. Most likely, the teacher will highly appreciate your vocal abilities.
Tell the teacher that he is urgently called to the director. Hang a sign with April Fool's greetings on the director's office door. If your humor is appreciated, then everything will be fine.
Go up to a girl from the class and offer to tell fortunes, take her hand and run your finger over her palm for a long time. When the girl’s patience runs out, she will definitely say something, answer this: this is exactly what you will tell your spouse on the first night! The meaning may not reach you right away, but it will definitely come!
Ask your classmate looking him straight in the face: what do you have? When you stop trying to wipe your face, say: oh, forgive that face of yours!
Offer sparkling water to your classmates and shake the bottle well beforehand. Simple is best mineral water, since you won’t have to wash anything.
Write a note and send it to the desks with the following inscription: “the ceiling in the classroom is running.” The result is impressive - the whole class is spinning with their heads raised, including the teacher.
Pranks for the family
It’s much easier to play pranks on loved ones at home than on strangers, but you shouldn’t try too hard to avoid a scandal.
Use clear nail polish to color the dried soap well. In the morning, everyone will wonder why it is impossible to wash with soap, because it does not produce foam.
Swap sugar and salt. The effect will be immediate - few people like salty tea or sweet soup.
Glue each family member's toothbrush to the bottom of a glass. Your family won’t be able to immediately understand what’s going on, but you’ll have a good laugh. By the way, prepare new toothbrushes in advance.
In the same way, you can glue the slippers of loved ones together. Your loved ones will spend a long time figuring out what happened to them, and you can give them new slippers for the house as a present.
You can replace the sweet cream in cookies with menthol or fruit toothpaste. You can try putting spices with hot pepper there.
Place the cheese and sausage in the freezer in advance, serve it on the table in the morning and enjoy watching your household try to cut off a piece.
Stick the end of the toilet paper in someone else's back pocket and put the roll in the back. Wherever your family member goes, a long trail of paper will follow.
Prepare a holiday breakfast for your children and husband. Along with the traditional dish, serve fresh juice with a straw, but instead of juice, let it be jelly. It's quite funny to see how your loved ones will try to suck up the liquid.
How to make fun of your husband
Under the cover of night, while your loved one is sleeping, paint his nails with a bright color. You can move the clocks forward a little so that there is no time for breakfast. The joke will be waiting for him on the way to work or in the office itself.
Buy a pregnancy test and draw two lines. Show it to your spouse in the morning and watch the reaction.
Another similar prank, but you will have to prepare for it in advance. It is necessary to purchase a doll similar in size to a newborn child. Swaddle him like a child, place him in a basket and leave him near your door, just make sure that your spouse is at home at this time. Knock on the door, and quickly go down to the floor below; when you hear the door opening, go up as if you were just going home. When you see your spouse, ask: “What kind of young girl ran out of the entrance?”, then observe the behavior of your lover.
And of course, the most favorite way to make fun of your significant other is to take his car and tell him by phone that you hit him or had an accident, everything is fine with you, but the car cannot be restored. Then just watch your loved one’s reaction.
How to make fun of your spouse
Tell your spouse that you are inviting her to a restaurant today. Prepare a chic case and place a large raisin inside. During dinner, take your wife by the hand and say: “Dear, you, whether you like it or not, are the highlight of my life, when I saw this on the counter, I immediately realized that this should belong only to you!” Of course, it will be much better if you prepare a real decoration, because no one knows how the joke might turn out!
Buy artificial insects or mice, discreetly place them on the pillow or on the table during a shared meal. In an excited voice, tell her that there are mice or spiders in your house, and observe your spouse’s behavior.
Parents' prank
Take a roll of toilet paper, tear off small pieces and crumple them. Then we put them in the shoes that the parents wear. When getting ready for work, parents will not be able to understand for some time why the shoes have become so much smaller.
While parents are getting ready for work or under the cover of darkness, place it in their wardrobe a large number of small inflatable balls. Having opened the closet, parents will come into a slight daze, but will certainly have fun.
This joke will be harsher, so if mom or dad’s health doesn’t allow it, it’s better not to use it.
Change the lock to front door while parents are away. Then invite a good friend, preferably an adult, to help you. Arriving home, parents will try in vain to open the door with their key. We assure you that they will be very surprised when the door opens for them. unknown man in home clothes with the words: “Who are you and what is needed here?” To a completely natural question from parents: “Who is this man and why is he at their house?”, the man will answer that he bought a living space in the center of the real estate and now he lives here.
The main thing is not to delay this dialogue, otherwise the consequences can be disastrous.

First you need to find another “accomplice” from among your friends, and such a prank is possible provided that there is a metro in the city.
When you enter a subway car with a friend, pretend that you are talking to the driver over the intercom. Just ask for fresh coffee and a burger. At the next stop, an accomplice should be waiting for you; he should enter the carriage and give the order. I assure you, all passengers and friend will be surprised. Indignation will be added to the bewilderment when you again imitate a dialogue with the driver and ask him to continue the trip to the final station without stopping, because you are in a hurry.
Risky way

While your friends are busy with the fire and setting the table, you need to open the jar and pour its contents onto the ground, place toilet paper on top. Now turn on your full reserve of artistry and charm. Pretend that you accidentally stumbled upon this pile, take a spoon out of your pocket and shout “Fresh!” start eating.
Third draw
Telling jokes is not the best option for April 1st. Therefore, it is better to use a holiday card. You need to print the envelope in official registration from the tax office, military registration and enlistment office and write a serious message on it, it is important that it seems as believable as possible. Place a regular postcard inside the envelope. I assure you that the victim of the prank will be at a loss when receiving this envelope and may even be afraid to open the envelope.
The fourth joke
If a friend has a goldfish aquarium at home, you can give him a show. To do this, cut a fish out of a carrot and hide it in your sleeve.

And on April 1, while everyone is busy with their own affairs, carefully place the glass behind your neck and approach a friend who will become the “victim” of the planned joke. Start complaining, and then tilt your head - after squeezing, the glass should make a strong crunch, which will first frighten the “victim” and then rush to provide medical assistance.
Option six
Pleykast is modern internet a card that is ideal for pranking friends. You can find many sites for creating such congratulations. You need to select the appropriate text, for example, something like “The police are looking for you due to the use of pirated software. We will be with you within 15 minutes to conduct a search, please wait.” I assure you, the impressions of receiving such a postcard will be colossal.

The toughest draw
To hit a friend hard, you need to work together. You need to argue with the “victim” that it is simply impossible to guess a part of another person’s body by feeling it only with your fingertips. Blindfold your friend and start exposing body parts, then take two tomatoes and slip them in, when the “victim” feels them, the accomplice should loudly shout “You pierced my eyes.”
Tenth method
Take an empty alcohol bottle and fill it with plain water. Get all your friends in the car and go with them on errands. Show yourself as a careful, focused driver who does not violate the rules and speed limits.

The first of April is called April Fool's Day, but its main feature is considered to be harmless banter with friends and relatives. To avoid becoming a victim of a prank, you need to get ahead of those around you and prepare your own jokes. This is what we will do in this article.
April Fool's Day Prank Options
Jokes on April Fool's Day should amuse, not offend, so choose carefully who and how to joke. Consider the person’s character so that the holiday gives pleasant emotions.
The actor who plays Jon Snow from Game of Thrones, Kit Harrington, really scared his fiancée Rose Leslie on April 1 two years ago by putting a replica of his head from filming in the refrigerator.
Pranks that children can prepare
The day before, ask a classmate for a phone number, supposedly for business, and set an alarm clock on it an hour earlier than the usual wake-up time. Call back in the morning to find out if you liked the draw.
Prepare a bar of soap in advance and cover it with clear nail polish. Get up early and replace the soap in the bathroom with your own, with a surprise. The family will wonder why they can’t wash their hands.
For younger schoolchildren, it is better to use the help of an adult relative to cover the soap with colorless nail polish.
For breakfast, offer your family Oreo cookies or any other cookie, but in the form of a sandwich with filling. Before doing this, quietly replace the cream layer with toothpaste.
It is better to use toothpaste for spreading cookies without a pronounced aroma; you can also not clean off the filling completely, but make a depression for an unexpected addition
At school, get your hands dirty with chalk and approach your classmate from behind. Cover his eyes with your hands and ask him to guess who you are. After recognition, go about your business, leaving white prints on your friend’s face. You shouldn't joke like that with girls, especially in high school, when they can already wear makeup.
You can offer your classmates a mirror in which, instead of a reflection, they will see pictures with funny animals. Remember that the joke should not be offensive.
When choosing pictures with animals you need to be careful so as not to have an enemy instead of a harmless prank
Prank ideas for adults
Serve undrinkable juice for breakfast. To do this in the evening, dilute the jelly bags according to the instructions and pour into glasses. Insert drinking straws and store in the refrigerator. When serving, pretend to drop a glass of juice on the table. The opportunity to eat a treat will reassure relatives.
The main feature of the draw is the element of surprise when capsizing
When getting ready for work, ask one of your relatives to remove a thread from your clothes under the pretext that you can’t reach it. Before doing this, hide a spool of thread under your clothes and bring the edge out. It will be very difficult to remove such a thread.
Set up a forwarding from your number to one belonging to some city organization. When trying to call, people will hear an unfamiliar voice saying a formal greeting.
Hearing on the phone “You have called the Gorvodokanal help desk” will be a surprise for the caller
The evening before the holiday, stay in the office and cover the bottom of your optical computer mice with tape. On April 1st, watch the reactions of your co-workers wondering why their mice aren't working.
For an optical mouse to work properly, the light from the sensor must be reflected from the surface of the table or mat without obstruction.
An office prank with mice can be complicated by hiding the device. Leave a note on the table with mouse tracks and text like “Don’t look for me, I found someone else.”
A colleague who is out for lunch can be played as follows:
- Minimize the program or browser it is running in and take a screenshot.
- Remove shortcuts from your desktop after saving them in a folder.
- Set the screen as your desktop screensaver.
The colleague will understand that this is a joke, but not immediately. To make the joke a success, practice it on your computer in advance. You can also joke with your relatives using screenshots.
Some people advise setting your desktop screensaver to a blue screen of death, simulating a computer malfunction. I consider this a cruel joke that may end in calling the doctors. A person is unlikely to calmly accept the news that work on a months-long project or article has been interrupted due to a breakdown.
Even after pressing the reset button, the blue screen of death will not disappear, and when the deception is revealed, the joker may need the help of doctors
Make a spot white by pouring the glue onto the glass and letting it dry. Place it discreetly on a colleague's desk or laptop and stand next to the cup in your hand.
Dried PVA glue becomes transparent white, like milk
Use a thin needle to make a through hole in the tube. Treat your friend to a drink that is usually drunk through a straw - a milkshake, for example.
Trying to drink from a straw with extra holes is doomed to failure because the drink does not rise to the top hole
Coca-Cola with ice. Add crushed Mentos candy to the water before freezing. Melted ice will cause a violent reaction in the carbonated drink.
A joke from one of the American channels has gone down in the history of April Fools' pranks. News from Switzerland showed Americans an unprecedented harvest of... pasta. Spectators were surprised that the pasta grew vertically, expressed approval of the journalists’ actions, and some wondered where they could get the seedlings.
The following method is suitable for skilled confectioners. Bake banana-shaped cupcakes and cover with fondant. All that remains is to offer guests a taste of the fruit.
A prank with banana-shaped cupcakes is only possible for experienced housewives.
Place a cardboard box food products, and into it - beets with a long tail. Pets will mistake the installation for a mouse or rat that has found its way into the house.
If you don’t have beets in the house, you can replace them with potatoes by attaching a piece of string to the vegetable
Cover the sensor on your home or office TV remote control.
A remote control with a sealed infrared sensor does not transmit commands to the TV
A joke that can be used anywhere:
Video: easy ways to prank your friends on April 1st
As you can see, there are many options for pranking those around you on the first of April. Now you don't have to make jokes about white backs to get the title of the main comedian in your family, school or work.
You order a call to the person you want to prank, from a celebrity: Putin, Zhirinovsky or famous artist! You can also choose the topic of the call: April 1, birthday, some holiday. Just imagine that Putin calls your friend in the morning and personally congratulates him on the holiday, or the famous politician Vladimir Zhirinovsky. I can just imagine your friend's face. I assure you, you and your friend will get a lot of unforgettable minutes!
This prank is good for a person who often uses a computer, but is not very confident. Although an experienced user will probably also be discouraged for a few minutes.
So, step by step instructions:
Step 1. Lure the “victim” out from behind the computer and send him for a walk out of sight and earshot for 5-10 (or more) minutes.
Step 2. Create the appearance of work on the desktop. For example, we open a text editor and write the phrase “Hello, world!” there.
Step 3. Take a screenshot (press PrintScreen on the keyboard).
Step 4. Open the Paint program and paste our image from the clipboard (Ctrl+V).
Step 5. Save the document, remember the path to it, close the graphic editor.
Step 6. Find our image in Explorer, right-click on it and select “Set as desktop background image.”
Step 7. We wait for the victim and enjoy the result at a safe distance.
You can play a very funny prank on people on the subway. Enter the carriage at one of the stops and, after waiting a little, go to the button to call the driver. Next, by pressing it (of course, only pretending), you need to say loudly: “Two cokes and a hamburger, please, into the carriage numbered...”. And then calmly wait for the next stop, at which the accomplice must enter and loudly ask: “Who ordered two cokes and a hamburger?” After receiving payment, the accomplice must leave. As soon as the train starts moving, you need to go to the call button again and say loudly: “To the final station without stopping, please.”
The prank may be a little childish, but at the same time it is cruel, so if you prank someone this way, you know for sure that no one will be seriously offended... After February 14th, there was only one unnecessary, but incredibly beautiful Valentine left. Everyone in the team has guys who, one way or another, tease the “weaker” sex. In my opinion, this joke is just for them. We take a valentine and nicely cut it in the middle into two parts. We sign: “Find your soul mate!” and discreetly place it on the table, in outerwear (pocket), maybe in a bag. To where our victim will find short term. Well, I think it’s clear here that we put the halves on one floor (two guys or two girls). It will be especially funny if the entire department is the audience.
With the help of this prank, the funniest thing is to joke on a person who is very scrupulous about the cleanliness of his things and appearance. You need to mix the Purgen tablet and a little ammonia, the result is a red-pink solution. It is poured into a cup and opportunity“accidentally” poured onto the unfortunate person being played. You can pretend that it was cherry juice, which, as you know, does not wash well.
After a few seconds, the stains will, of course, disappear as the ammonia evaporates. But it’s better, just in case, to first conduct this experiment at home on an unnecessary piece of light-colored material in order to completely eliminate the possibility of ruining someone else’s thing.
This draw can be thought of as a bet. You hand your friend 100 rubles and say: “The store slipped a counterfeit bill. Let's bet you 100 rubles that you won't find the difference from the real thing? I searched for half a day and barely found it.” At the end of the draw, you either enjoy an extra hundred or reveal the secret.
To play the prank, you need to get up a little earlier than usual, and agree in advance with your friend’s wife to play along with you, call early in the morning and say that he is late for work, call his wife a little later and make an appointment, and before your friend arrives you set the table and look at his surprised reaction, tell him about your long-standing hidden feelings and that you have long wanted to confess to him that... today is April 1st!
We need preferably a young married couple. They are sitting at home, the windows overlook the courtyard. All conditions have been created in the room, as if there was a party going on (lights or color music). The windows are open, loud music is playing (during the day). Goal: for a group of friends to play a prank on a friend who does not know that married couple. Previously, he is invited to this courtyard, they say, everyone in the apartment is going to a party. When the person being pranked arrives, he is told that there is a party in that apartment, not everyone has gathered yet, but there are very beautiful girl. She has a guy with her (someone's friend) who is trying to win her over, but she refuses him. All this time, our couple should stand at the window and pretend to have a slight quarrel. You need to briefly explain so that the person being pranked gets up, calls, and explains to the guy that he is the odd man out, and that now it’s “his turn” to win the lady. When the joyful guy gets up and rings the doorbell, during a short conversation he is shown a passport with a stamp.
