It doesn't have to be April Fool's Day to play a prank on your friends and family members. The "victims" of your funny and harmless gags will enjoy the good laugh on an otherwise boring day. Just make sure the person you are pranking has a good sense of humor, and can't fire you at work.
Ball Drop
This prank works well for your family members or any other friends that you have immediate access to their homes. While they are asleep, clean out of the kitchen cupboards and place a few dozen ping pong balls inside. Make sure to close the door quickly so none of the balls escape. The cupboard that holds the coffee, cereal or any other morning treat works well because this is naturally where the person will go first in the morning. Wait at the kitchen table until your victim walks in. As naturally as possible, ask him or her to hand you the coffee or your favorite breakfast treat. Stand back and watch as they are surprised by the balls falling on them first thing in the morning.
Angry Soap
Take a bar of soap that your victim would normally use in the morning. Remove the soap from the shower and cover it with a layer of clear nail polish or glue. Make sure whatever you apply to the surface of the soap dries thoroughly before you place it back in the shower. The next morning, make sure that no one uses the shower until the victim has had a chance to use it. Stand outside the bathroom door and listen to the sounds of frustration as the victim cannot get the soap to lather up correctly.
Mixed Up Pantry
Take several of the boxed items, such as rice and cereals out of the kitchen cupboards or pantry. Remove the contents of the box and place each in a plastic zippered bag. Switch around the boxes so the rice cereal is in the puffed cereal box and the pancake mix is inside the scalloped potato box. You can also take this a step further and remove all the labels from the canned goods and switch them around, so the chicken soup is covered with a cream of celery label, and so on. Watch as your wife or husband tries to make dinner that night and cannot figure out what happened to all the ingredients.
