Pranks to pull on April Fools’ Day: ideas that will make your friends and family smile (31–40)
Prank with a bunch of toy spiders
You’d be shocked if you suddenly found yourself surrounded by spiders without realizing it, right? Try secretly scattering spider toys when the person you’re pranking is deeply focused, sleeping, or out of the house.
For people who are bad with bugs, it’s a pretty effective and nasty prank.
stab with a retractable knife
I’m going to pull a prank using one of those knives you often see with toys, where the blade retracts when you stab.
It’s not very funny if you just stab in an obvious way, so to really surprise them, try creating a serious atmosphere first and then do it.
The mood-setting is important, so make a plan and give it a try.
A ghost appears during class
It’s a prank I’d like to try at a cram school or classroom, but since it involves a ghost, there’s a risk it could end in awkward chuckles.
That said, if a long-haired woman in white clothes with a white-painted face suddenly appeared behind you, anyone would be startled for a moment, right? Recommended for those who can endure an eerie atmosphere.
Cheating prank + reverse prank
A cheating prank is the kind of prank that can easily turn into a huge fight, so it’s very high-risk—but this is a reverse prank that turns that risk on its head.
If a cheating prank actually makes your partner angry, you’re going to feel truly awful.
But once they realize that the cheating prank itself was the prank all along, the tension will dissolve in an instant.
100% lemon juice
It’s a prank where you lie that it’s a sweet lemon or yuzu-style juice and make someone drink 100% lemon juice.
To keep the smell from giving it away, it’s best to serve it in something with a small opening.
Try secretly giving it to a friend who likes honey-lemon drinks.
