The month of April is a beautiful time of year. Flowers start to bloom, the Earth is blessed with tons of April showers, the weather changes from cold to warm, and some families even come together for Easter. The first day of this month, however, is not like the rest… For many kids, it is great fun and, for many parents, it is hell on Earth. That’s right: April Fools'. A day of tricks and no treats. So many kids love pranking family members and friends, often competing and arguing over whose elaborate plot was the best. Yet, some kids don’t know what to do. They don’t know how to make a good prank. So, to celebrate the holiday, here is a list of some of the top pranks for the year of 2023!
First on the list is a good ol’ switch-a-roo. This prank is good if you have a friend or family member who loves their coffee. Simply switch out the sugar for salt and, when your friend goes to take a sip, their taste buds will be in for the surprise of their life! Make sure you don’t pick someone who is not a morning person, though, because if you make the mistake of putting salt in a grumpy person’s coffee… You might end up grounded for the rest of this holiday. It is good to set aside a cup of regular coffee, just in case you mess up. That way, your day is not ruined by one simple prank.

Next up is a prank involving your mom’s mirror. Grab a bunch of sticky notes from around your house and stick them to the mirror, and then add details to make it look like a person or creature. Draw on eyes, a mouth, a nose, and maybe even some funky eyebrows! It doesn’t matter if you are an artist or not. Creativity is all that counts. The author of Reader’s Digest, Dani LaBriola, says, “They got together and used all the colored sticky notes in our house and created a huge April Fool creature… I didn’t want to take it down, I finally did… in December.” This prank is a tamer one, yet it can still get a reaction from your mom if you are looking for something fun and creative for this April Fools'.

Another prank this year is definitely an oldie but a goodie. Ever heard of the toothpaste and oreo prank? Yup, that’s right, the one where you switch the filling on your unsuspecting target and watch as they take a huge bite of sparkly mint toothpaste. It is a fan favorite, and has been used for a long time. It is one of those pranks that might be obvious to someone who is in high school but, if you have an unsuspecting little brother or sister, this is the perfect easy prank to pull on them.
Last on this list is the classic prank that always seems to get people startled and worked up… Just jumping out and scaring them! It might seem boring or easy but, sometimes, the best prank is something simple instead of an elaborate plot that you have thought about since last April Fools'. Coming up with something special is always fun, but seeing the fear on a loved one's face when you simply jump-scare them is even better. Parade says, “Go for the classic April Fools' prank!” I couldn’t agree more. This is definitely the best way to scare the pants off of someone without working your butt off.
With April Fools' nearing so quickly, it is hard to pick a good prank. After all, all of them are good in their own way. Maybe the prank of the year is waking up early to vandalize the bathroom mirror, or maybe it is just scaring an unsuspecting grandparent by jumping out at them. Either way, it is fun to make a family member yell in fear and surprise. Maybe you will even get to hear your Grandpa curse!
