Howdy, Prankster Teacher! Are you ready to play a prank on your students on April Fool’s? We have asked some of our teacher friends to give us their best ideas. And this is what we got! Are you ready for the funniest pranks ever? Make the start of April a moment your students won’t ever forget!
8. The never ending Google Form
Create a Google Form that loops like forever. Imagine the frustration on your students’ faces when they are sent over and over again to the beginning of the form. Just click on Go To Section 1 and you have the loop.
7. Chocolate Dipped Brussels Sprouts
It’s easy. Take some Brussels sprouts, some wooden sticks and some melted chocolate. These chocolate pops will be a total hit. And their faces as well.
6. Word Search Puzzle With No Words
Just give them this word search (save image and print) and ask them to find as many words as possible. You can give them a random list of words or you can tell them that there is a secret message inside and they have to find them. Give them 5-10 minutes to do it! The trick is that there is no word in there.
5. The Brown E’s
Tell your students you baked some brownies for them. Instead of the delicious brownies, place in a casserole dish large letters E printed on brown paper. Watch their faces as you serve them.
4. Asteroid or Potato
Use NASA’s Astronomy Picture of the Day from 2020 to announce your students that there was discovered a new asteroid. See the whole story HERE!
3. Marshmallow Farming
Watch Marshmallow Farming YouTube video. Short answer response on Padlet about how a marshmallow shortage would influence s’mores business. Finally, click link which takes them directly to Rick Astley “Never Gonna Give You Up” video.
2. Flip the page
Print on both side of the page the following text: You are going to solve a very difficult exercise. Trust the process! You can do it. Follow the instructions without thinking. You have only 5 minutes. Ready, steady, go! For instructions flip the page!
Watch them flipping the page back and forward! :))
1. Prank Escape Room
It’s easy. Featuring 9 joke puzzle challenges that do not reveal a final secret code, this fun and engaging PRANK escape room will be a huge hit for your students. There are actually no right answers of the puzzles. It is impossible to escape it. Look helpful towards struggling students and encourage them to try again and again until the time is over. Then you can reveal that it is an April Fools’ prank.
