it's coming up, anyone got an old idea to share? last year i bought 6 pizza boxes, put english books in them, and wrote "puhaha" on the inside. i carried them into class with a case of coke, told them they got the pizza if they answered 7 of 10 English trivia questions, and then made them yell that I am the best teacher ever. boy were they mad...
i cant do that again as they will just remember it from last year, so i am hoping someone has a good thing i can use... |

| My advice is not to stand in front of class and declare that Dokdo is Japanese. |

| My mother's birthday is April Fool's Day. Good story behind that....she came early....the hospital kept trying to call her father at work and his co-workers kept laughign and saying, "yeah, yeah, april fool!" and hanging up. He didn't know he had a daughter until he got off work and went home to an empty house. |

My first April Fool's Day in Korea I worked in a small hagwon that was also a Montessory school. I went upstairs and got some ketchup and put it all over my finger and grabbed a papertowel. And walked into the office and acted like I'd been cut bad.
My director FREAKED out....it was pretty funny. |

Red fruit-roll-ups are money for this gag; wrap some around a couple fingers and suck on them until they are soft, then run into Boss' office, class, etc... Looks quite grusome, not really like you were cut, but mangled by something. Add a prop; mangled left-hand, hammer in the right.
It got to the point where my Mom just stopped believing me when I said I was hurt. |

| My co-teacher told me about an April Fool's prank that all the students at my school pulled a few years ago. There's another high school one block away from where I work. All the students from my high school switched places with the students at the other school. |

Montessori is a style of learning where you students learn through doing projects etc. Not from books.
There are schools all over the world and their teachers are specially trained in Montessori techniques. |

| Yes, that is what it is. I worked there for a year teaching English and sometimes participated in the Monterssori part of the program. |

This year, I told all my classes on Friday that my family sent me a huge box of more than 2000 pieces of special chocolate-strawberry candy from America. Also told them that anyone who came to my desk today could have as much as they wanted, but they shouldn't tell the other classes.
As expected, a combination grapevine/rumor mill/demonstration/civil war broke out and delegations from every class in the school visited my desk all Friday demanding equal candy consideration.
I solemnly apologized and promised them all fair shares...
The first text messages announcing the students' impending revenge started around 8:30 this morning--while I was in bed, nowhere near the school. Puhaha.
The downside is, the kids here are as clever as those in the example above, so I may be in for a world of hurt...
BTW: I think, just maybe, Spinoza was taking the piss out of your spelling. Maybe. |

I was going to come on to my friend in the taxi coming home just after midnight this morning expressing a long-standing homosexual crush and then say 'April Fools!' but I was too drunk and forgot.
Yesterday a bunch of my students surprised me when I rolled open the classroom door - as I opened it there were five faces that suddenly expressed shock as if I had freaked the hell out of them ... which in turn freaked the hell out of me. I don't know if that was in anticipation of 1 April foolerly or just them being themselves. |
