Book Swap
If a friend has book covers on their textbooks or notebooks, switch the books inside the covers. They'll be surprised when they pull out "Science Insights" in their English class.
Who Turned Out the Lights?
Wake up early before everyone else in the house and loosen all the light bulbs, unplug clocks, lights, televisions and disable everything electrical. Then see how long you can convince people that the power is out!

Ponderous Pancakes
Secretly add a packet of dry yeast or breadmaker yeast to the box of pancake mix. Then, on April Fool's Day ask mom to whip up some delicious pancakes. She'll be shocked when she sees the fabulously huge flapjacks that are produced!

Bug in a Mug>> NEW <<
Find a dead bug and keep it hidden. Wait until your victim has completely finished their coffee or other beverage, and when they're not looking slip the dead bug into the cup. Then "notice" that they apparently just drank something with a dead bug in it! Chances are they will be really grossed out.

You're All Wet
Take a little piece of duct tape and tape it to the bottom of a faucet. So when your victim tries to turn on the faucet, water will spray everywhere!

Foiled Not Boiled
Ask your victim if they would like a hard-boiled egg. If they say "yes," hand them a regular egg.
Ghostly Sounds>> NEW <<
Fill a cup to the brim with dried peas, and add water. Then place the cup on a metal tray, place the tray on top of a book, and hide it under the victim's bed. During the night, the peas will expand and slowly one by one fall onto the tray. Your victim will think it's a ghost tapping!
Juice Spoof
On the night before April 1st, take a glass and fill it with orange juice. Put it in the freezer. In the morning, ask a friend/family member if they would like some orange juice. When they say yes, take the orange juice out and poor a half-inch (unfrozen) on top of the frozen juice in the glass. When the person takes a big gulp, they'll wonder why they aren't getting anything!
