Good pranks for April 1: how to cheer children

Even people who in ordinary life are not inclined to humor left and right, on April 1, they definitely want to play a trick on someone. Relatives are best suited for these purposes - you know their habits, you can predict their reaction to some events, and you will always find a joke that can cheer up a loved one. And how the children rejoice at the merry jokes! The little ones will be happy to help you spread toothpaste on dad or "pour milk" on the keyboard of your home computer. The main thing in the April Fools' scenario is not to overdo it. Jokes should not be offensive, and pranks should be chosen so as not to harm either the health or the mood of family members.

When organizing draws be sure to consider the age and character of your child. Children respond well to this, starting from about three years old. But for kids, many jokes can be incomprehensible or even offensive. But on the other hand, they will gladly take part in the process of preparing various undertakings.

Toothpaste practical jokes

These are great morning pranks to start your day of jokes and laughs. Traditional spreading with toothpaste can be a lot of fun for any child. The main thing in this case is to persuade the “victim” so that she does not wake up at the most crucial moment and spoil the whole effect of the fun procedure.

You need to prepare in advance for the drawing "multi-colored teeth". In the evening, empty the tube of toothpaste by squeezing the contents onto a plate. Mix the pasta with a bright food coloring (now, on the eve of Easter, there is a very large assortment of such dyes in powders in stores). Use a syringe to "return" the paste back to the tube. In the morning, be sure to distract family members so that no one recognizes the joke in advance by the unusual color of the paste. Food coloring is good for washing off teeth. The only thing, remember that it is better not to offer such a paste to children under three years old.

Champion's breakfast

Also, with the help of toothpaste, you can diversify breakfast. For this, a paste with a pronounced mint flavor is suitable. Make any cookie with a creamy middle layer. Separate the cookie halves, gently scrape off the interlayer and replace with toothpaste. Combine the cookies and arrange them nicely on a plate. After your family has washed their colorful teeth, it's time to eat some mint cookies. By the way, you can drink it with tea or coffee. Just replace the sugar in the sugar bowl with finely dispersed salt, and you are guaranteed a noisy breakfast with your family.

We warn you right away that children are unlikely to like tea with salt. They can be offered unusual "colorful" milk. Buy an opaque carton of milk and add some food coloring (blue milk looks very nice). Invite the child to pour the milk into the glass himself. Surprise and delight on the part of the baby are provided.

Prank with glue

After breakfast, it is quite possible to drive someone close to you into a slight stress by pouring a glass of milk onto a laptop or computer keyboard. To do this, take a plastic board or cover a wooden cling film. Squeeze PVA glue onto it. Let the blot dry, carefully remove the milk and place directly on the technique. Make a guilty face and enjoy the victim's five-minute adrenaline rush.

Sweet scrambled eggs

Another not offensive, but very pleasant prank with food, which will definitely appeal to your family. Announce fried eggs for lunch, but cook them without helpers. For this dish, you will need thick yogurt and a can of canned peaches. Put the yogurt on a plate in the form of a protein, and on top put the "yolk" - half a peach. And call those close to the table. It will be an unexpected but delicious surprise.

Box of chocolates

This prank is perfect for sweet tooth and checking their excerpts. Take a box of chocolates (small square boxes, which are now often packed with candies like truffles) are suitable and cut off the bottom of it so that it only holds on one fold. Fill the box with confetti and place it neatly high in a visible place. Warn loved ones that these are candy for guests, so they should not be touched. After that, wait for which family member will be the first to break the patience.

Take someone by surprise

The following fun is designed for the surprise effect. Suddenly jump up to the child and ask him a question with the wrong answer options. For example: "Winnie the Pooh - is it a pig or a boar?", "Does the cow drink milk or kefir?" You can find options for such questions on the Internet. The main thing is then, together with the child, to figure out that the cones on the birch do not grow.

Merry rhymes

Another mindfulness task that will greatly amuse the children is the funny poems from the children's poet Natalia Maidanik. In these rhymes, the rhyme is chosen so that the answer to the question is deliberately wrong.

The main thing is not to laugh

In addition to the sweepstakes, on April 1, you can arrange various contests. For this, a large company is not at all necessary; several people will do. One of the simplest contests is not to laugh. The players sit in a circle, and one of them says "Ha!" As seriously as possible. The next one says "Ha-ha!", The next one says "Ha-ha-ha!" and so on. Anyone who says the wrong amount of "Ha" or laughs is out of the game. The game continues, and those eliminated at this time try to do everything to make the remaining players laugh (only without tickling). The one who laughs last wins.

Surprise balloons

For the general competition, you can prepare balloons in which forfeits with tasks can be placed in advance. On separate pieces of paper, write different parts of the body and let each relative draw out. Participants must burst their balloon with exactly the part of the body that they got. The tasks inside the balls depend on your imagination. Only you need to select them so that they are within the power of even the smallest family members. For example, “go to the balcony and crow three times”, “fill your mouth with water and not laugh for a minute”, “sing a song, replacing the words with the syllable“ shu ”or“ po ”.
