April Fools' Day Gag
Prank #1
You will like this one! You must practice really hard though. It involves falling down, so if you aren't in shape and are not up to it, don't attempt it!
Go to your local chain store and fall down. Pretend to be really hurt. Wait for others to circle around you. Then hop up and say "April Fools'!"

Prank #3
This one's really fun if you're a teacher! It involves a little planning. Assign your students some overnight reading homework. Then give your students a multiple choice pop quiz on the next day!
They'll tense up, but offer them encouraging words. "Do your best!" "If you've read, you'll do just fine!" etc... Most importantly, tell the students "There must be absolutely NO talking until after the results are given. I will then give you a chance to ask questions."
Give out the pop quiz and make sure that it is not related to the reading assignment. Collect the papers and pass them out to the other students to "grade." Some may do well, some may do poorly. Anyway... collect the papers from the students that are grading them. Say that you need to look over the responses and quickly glance over everything... have a big RED pen handy. Put a big "F" with a circle around it at the top of each paper.
Pass the papers out.
Keep
the students going with the gag... tell them how disappointed you are
with their work... etc. BUT don't let it get too out-of hand. As soon
as you see a tear, say "April Fools!" You've all just received a free
"A!"
