For school and other friends: April Fools’ jokes via WhatsApp
This news initially causes heart racing and after the enlightenment for big laughs:
“What time are you at school today? We have this extra course today and then Monday is free.”
“Oh my God! Did you see the news?? Aliens have landed on Earth, tune in quickly!”
“I was just watching Celebrity XX around town, want to hurry up? He will definitely be here for a while!”
“Have you finished the project work yet? It has to be handed in on Monday!”
April April!
April Fools’ jokes to prank parents
Parents also fall victim to April 1st. These jokes are particularly funny:
1. Fear of pets and animals
Snake, Spider or Insect? Find out what scares the parents the most. Such insects can be quickly modeled with paper, pencil and scissors. The dummies work best when hidden in a lamp or on the pillow.
2. Cling film trap
A lot of fun, but to be enjoyed with caution: stretch cling film in the door frame and call a family member in a panic. If he comes running quickly and wants to enter the room, the cling film will stop him.
3. Switch sugar and salt
Terrible fun, especially at breakfast: fill the salt shaker with sugar. The breakfast egg becomes a sweet treat for the palate.

Parents can make April fools too
April 1st is a great opportunity to add a few surprises to everyday family life.
1. The Shoelace Prank
All the children’s shoelaces are tied in the morning. The tedious process of unknotting in a hurry is hilarious, but it’s also a good frustration test, right?
What else works: pull out the laces completely and thread them the other way around. So the loop is below.
Important so that there are no tears: Make sure that there is some time to fiddle and tease. Dissolve in good time with “April, April” and then help quickly!
2. The drawer trick
Replace two drawers in the children’s room in the evening. About the one with the underwear and the one with the socks. This will cause amazement when you put it on. “Was it always like this?”
3. Colorful milk for breakfast
Before eating cornflakes or muesli: put a drop of food coloring in the bowl, then the cereal on top. When milk or juice is added, the colorful surprise comes.
