April Fools Pranks

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Winona chapter.

April Fool’s Day is right around the corner; so, for all you pranksters out there, here are some ideas for April Fool’s pranks to help you get started:

1. Slip N’ Slide

What you need: cooking spray, a good sense of humor, and a taste for revenge. 

The perfect prank for watching people fall over themselves.

 

2. People Fishing

What you need: fishing line, money, and poor college kids. 

How many people can you catch with that one-dollar bill?

 

3. Balloon Blasting

What you need: a whole bunch of balloons and a good sport of a roommate.

Your friend will have fun trying to get out of the room.

 

4. Flour Power

What you need: flour, a hair dryer, and a video camera.

Perfect for those girls that are all about appearances. Instead of getting that “perfect” hair, they are going to get a “perfect” face of flour.

 

5. Alarm Frenzy

What you need: annoying alarms and fools that will be forced to listen to them.

Nothing is more annoying than having alarms going off randomly throughout the night.

 

6. Box Monster

What you need: a box and someone that is easily scared.

What’s better then scaring people?

 

7. The Invisible Rope

What you need:  a friend, running shoes, and a couple poor drivers.

The goal is to try and stop as much traffic as you can.

 

8. Ellen Dance Dare Challenge

What you need: strangers, great dance moves, and a camera.

*Maybe if you record it and put it online, Ellen Degeneres will see it and put it on her show*

How long can you break out in dance moves behind a stranger until they notice you?
