Post 'em here. Looking for good ideas.
Here's one to try on your students. Tell them that there is a mandatory meeting during one of there breaks on the playground, in another room, etc. . .
It's the only idea I've had so far. |

I'm going to take a gigantic pile of scrap paper into class, topped by some photocopied test sheets. I'm going to tell them we have a 15 page test followed by a 500 word essay. After their shouts of horror and dismay, I'm going to write the topic of the essay on the board.
"What and when is April Fool's Day?" |

My all time favorite, which I have done several times:
- Take a screenshot of the target's PC desktop
- Copy all desktop icons to another location (no need to do lasting harm)
- Set the screenshot as the new desktop background
Watch the madness ensue as the target tries to figure out why none of his desktop icons work any more. |

Telling my parents that my girlfriend was pregnant was pretty funny when I was younger. |

Small piece of tape over the bottom of someone's mouse is great...some people check immediately and find it. I've had others call tech support and have someone from the tech office come down and inspect their computer. |

Emptying the sugar dish and replacing it with salt has had good results |

I told my mom that I crashed her car once when she let me borrow it. I called her from a pay phone. She was really pissed. I mean pissed.
She was even more pissed when she saw me drive down the street towards the house about ten minutes later. |

Ughh, I completely forgot all about it. I was going to do Guns n' Roses' Garden of Eden as a listening excercise with half the words blanked out and then get all pissed off, yell at them for being lazy, and make them all hold their hands up in the air when no one had a single word written down. Then I'd yell out 'April Fools!' and give them a Britney Spears hand-out. Oh well, maybe next year. |

I planned today, April 1st, to be the final day of the Spelling Contest I've organized. Before the final two square off (32-player single elimination tourney format reduced to two finalists) I'm going to list a whole assortment of prizes to be won: Playstation Portable computer game, a new bike, free pizza for one year, 50,000 won in free coupons to the movie theatre, and a trip for four to Everland. Seriously, I have a fancy handout detailing the prizes for the winner. The runner-up gets a box of chocolates. They should be good and hyped, jacked to win at all costs. Oh, the pressure!
Then after the winner is finished celebrating I'll say... "April Fools!" And explain the concept to these farmer kids. They'll never forget it. LOL
In reality the prizes for first place isn't bad but ain't that great: a English-Korean electronic dictionary (100,000 won cost) and the Korea Unmasked comic book and Belgian chocolate. Second place gets a book dictionary and a Garfield comic book and chocolate. |

This only works for my boys class. I am leaving tommorow and they are naturally curious about their new teacher. I told them she is 21, blonde-hair, blue eyes and single. Half of them probably wouldn't have been able to stand after I told them; there was much groaning, shouting, and whistling; the co-teacher was doubled over laughing. I wish I could be here next Monday....  |

This morning in one of my classes all the students were sitting in their seats with their backpacks. The class prefect must have had drilled them ahead of time. I got her to rise to call the class to attention... 'Attention! Bow!', then they all called out 'See you later!' and ran out the door with their backpacks as if it were 4.30pm. |
