The teachers and students at my school have a close relationship, and I know they would be totally cool with me pranking my students since it's April Fools Day. That being said, can anyone suggest to me some good pranks to play on my students? They're middle school to high school age.

Cut off your pinky in the presence of your students. Razz

I found an unsolvable wordsearch online - that's about the extent of my prep. I did get my boss (she's a good friend) by throwing the old fake sick day into the mix.

It's too late now...

but

Show them a short video about transsexuals and say you were born as a member of the opposite sex. For the preceding month or so, start showing secondary (and primary) sex characteristics of the opposite sex. Girls, pencil in a moustache. Put a sock in your pocket. Boys, you know where to put the tangerines.

I mean, the class has to be higher level to get it, and maybe it would be just too tacky to do it with any age lower than middle school 3. Actually, it might be a good prank for your most advance middle school 3 class. Level with them...

"You guys, you know you are the best students in the school. You are the smartest students in the school. You are the most mature students in this school. What does mature mean?" (explain)

"I need to share something with you , and you need to accept it. We were all born differently. You are Korean. I am not. We are different, but we are the same. We have the same souls."

and etc... hahaha. Don't let them NOT accept it without a long debate as to why they are opposed to your choice... Smile

This is really funny, right?

Once I had my kindergardeners convinced that men could get pregnant in America.

That was a kick.

i have a class of 8 6th grade girls that i teach "after school" at my public school - developing time or whatever.

fooled them into thinking there was a huge test today. instead of complaining and getting a lot of "TEACHA, WHYYYYYY"s. they calmly pulled out their pencil cases and got quiet.

i just stood dumbfounded for awhile, then explained it was an april fool's joke.

one remarked "you're a really bad person, mr. _____"

uh - chuckle chuckle chuckle chuckle?

Last year I gave my intermediate level adult class an impossibly hard test. The questions were things like "what's the difference between a sound and a valid argument?" and "what minerals are found in the Atamaca desert?" I waited a full 5 minutes, struggling to keep a straight face, until I told them "April Fool's!"

They didn't laugh. Oh well.
