The 1st<\/sup> April is a very very important day.\u00a0 Not only is it Sharky & George\u2019s birthday (they\u2019re 11 years old), it is THE most perfect opportunity for you to try out your very best practical jokes and pranks.<\/p>\n

There are a few things to remember when doing an April Fool:
\n-Make sure it is funny for everyone
\n-Choose your victim very carefully, older brothers, dads and friends are usually better than mums, little sisters and grandparents.
\n-Remember that if you play a prank on someone, they are allowed to get you back.<\/p>\n

George\u2019s Favourite April Fool<\/b><\/p>\n

This is quite a mean prank that Sharky played on me when I was revising for exams in the summer.\u00a0 I had one of those electric fans to cool down my brain whilst I worked, and Sharky sneaked up and poured a whole packet of coco pops into the back of the fan.\u00a0 I was then covered head to toe in very fine coco pop dust!\u00a0 He had to do A LOT of clearing up!<\/p>\n

Sharky\u2019s Favourite April Fool<\/b><\/p>\n

Before your teacher comes into the classroom, put a coin on the floor up at the front near to the door.\u00a0 Make sure you have a sheet of paper with you, so that when your teacher comes into the room, spots the coin and bends over to pick up the coin, you noisily tear the paper, so it sounds like your teacher has torn their trousers.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Brilliant Egg Prank<\/b><\/p>\n

Tell someone that you\u2019ll give them \u00a310 if they let you crack two<\/b> eggs on their head.\u00a0 Tell them that there are no hidden tricks.\u00a0 When they agree, crack one<\/b> egg on their head, say thank you very much and walk away!<\/p>\n

Here are a few more that we love:<\/p>\n
