The annual day of practical jokes is here.
April Fool’s Day is one of the most enjoyable days of the year, with people actively encouraged to fool and prank their loved ones and friends.
While the event is primarily aimed at providing entertainment for children, adults have been known to attend.
Children’s versions of April Fool’s Day are often a lot more palatable, ranging from fake pregnancy announcements to fake breakups.
Ahead of Saturday’s festivities, we’ve compiled a list of some of the best, but also harmless, pranks that kids can pull in the coming hours.
What are the top 5 harmless pranks for kids on April Fool’s Day?
Loosen the tops on bottles
Loosening the tops on bottles or salt and pepper shakers ensures that the next person to use them will end up throwing sauce or salt all over the place. The beauty of this is that there are no obvious signs of misbehavior.
Change a parent’s phone screensaver
This is a simple premise, but messing with a parent’s phone can provide hours of entertainment. You can change their phone’s screensaver to an embarrassing photo or even a screengrab of their current background, giving them the impression that their device is no longer responding.
Fake spider
If you know someone terrified of spiders, this prank is perfect for them. You will be able to completely scare them by simply placing a fake spider or another insect in an area where they will notice it, such as their bed or food. It is certain to make people laugh.
Swap out food
This may necessitate the assistance of an adult, but if you can convincingly reseal a bag, you can replace someone’s favorite snack with an unpleasant alternative.
Whoopee cushion
Again, this is childish humor, but it works. Putting a whoopee cushion under someone’s chair is a sure way to get them to laugh. It imitates the sound of flatulence, which, to be honest, no one grows out of finding amusing.
But be warned: participating in April Fool’s pranks leaves you open to being pranked yourself when people come looking for revenge.
