Cellophane Tape Prank

Cellophane Tape Prank

It’s a prank where you can’t get into the classroom because there’s a wall of cellophane tape blocking the way! All you need is cellophane tape, so you can set it up quickly.

You can probably expect some funny reactions! Just be careful not to secure the tape too firmly.

Hide under the desk

If you’re thinking, “Let’s pull a prank at school,” but can’t come up with something you can do right away, here’s a perfect one: a prank that surprises someone without using anything—hide under a desk and jump out to scare them.

With this, you can easily do it anytime, anywhere—right in the classroom! Depending on the shape of the desk, you might not be able to hide well.

You might end up being totally visible and ruin the prank.

In that case, I think it’s easier to hide under the teacher’s podium or the teacher’s desk!

16 funny student pranks on teachers! School pranks!

These are a bunch of unique and adorable pranks: handing a teacher a bouquet with a caterpillar on it, eating super spicy chocolate, and giving someone fruit covered in flies.

Since they make all the prank props themselves, it seems like it could work well for a summer vacation independent research project!

A prank where the bottom of a teacup is removed

A prank where the bottom of a teacup is removed

This is a prank where, when someone tries to drink from a casually placed plastic bottle, the bottom comes off and the contents spill out.

It might already spill quite a bit while you’re setting it up, but let’s overlook that for now and enjoy their reaction! At elementary schools, be careful so that textbooks and notebooks don’t get wet.

The cap of the plastic bottle isn’t closed.

The cap won’t close! How to make a plastic bottle trap
The cap of the plastic bottle isn’t closed.

At first glance, it looks like an ordinary plastic bottle, and the cap appears to be screwed on tightly.

But when you pick it up, the cap comes off easily and the drink spills—it’s a prank.

Once the cap has been opened, the lower section, which is part of the cap, detaches, so even if you screw the cap back on firmly, you can tell it’s been opened.

The trick is to slide that lower section up to the bottle’s neck where the threads are, then just set the cap on top.

It really does look like the cap is properly closed.

knee-tapping prank

[Test] How many chains can a knee-buckling prank make?

When we were kids, almost everyone went through this at least once—or so many adults would say: the knee-buckling prank.

It’s a classic, long-standing gotcha—this “knee-kakun.” You stand behind your target, bend your own knee, and tap the back of the person’s knee in front so they buckle and drop a bit.

The trick is simply to stand behind them naturally and approach from the rear—that’s it! Just note that if there’s too big a difference in body size or height, it might be a bit difficult.

Prank on the teacher

Here’s a classic prank.

When the teacher opens the classroom door to come in, erasers or notebooks that were wedged above the door fall down—a surprise everyone knows.

There may not be any other prank that has been loved for so long.
