Celebrate April Fools Day by pulling one of these lighthearted pranks on your kids. Whether your kids are angels or little pranksters themselves, we’ve got a prank you’ll love.

 

“You overslept” Prank

This prank is great if you have teenagers who always hit the snooze button on their alarm. You will have to be up at least an hour before the victim is supposed to be. Then, change all the clocks in the house to a later time, say from 5:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. Now, to the best of your acting ability you have to wake them up and tell them they overslept and are really late for school.

 

 

Surprise School Lunch Prank

This prank is perfect for your kids who love their sweets. While making their school lunch make sure you include Oreos. First, take a cookie and carefully open it and scrape out all of the icing. Then spread a combination of toothpaste and garlic powder or pickle juice between the cookies and put it back together. You won’t have the pleasure of watching your kid’s surprise when the cookie is bitten into but be sure to ask how their lunch was when they get home.

 

 

Computer Mouse Prank

Everyone knows one favorite activity for the modern kid is to be on the computer. This is a prank for your video game-playing son or your Facebook gossip hound daughter. The computer will need a mouse for this trick to work. First, grab a Post-it and cut out a small square. Write April Fool’s on the paper then place it over the mouse ball or laser and the mouse will no longer work. Your child will flip the mouse over in frustration to read you April Fool’s note.

 

 

Talking Pet Prank

This one is for all you pet owners out there. First grab a Walky Talky and when your pet is sleeping hide it close by. Now wait in the other room. When your kid reaches down to stroke your pet, say something like, "Hey Pal! Get your grimy hands off me!" You know what they say; a healthy family always voices their opinion.

 

 

Salt Prank

Here is a simple prank to play on your coffee-loving teenagers. Before they come down in the morning, switch the sugar with salt and place it back on the table. Then wait for them to pour it in and watch their faces as they take the first sip. Maybe they will actually listen the next time you say that they shouldn’t drink coffee.
