April <\/a>1st. The day when you can play any trick on friends, family, or even a stranger and get away with it. This occasion seems almost too good to be true! While some people may be naturals at pranks, there are still a handful of tricks perfect for amateur jokesters, so April Fools\u2019 in 2022 will be a day to remember!<\/span><\/p>\n

1.) Computer Whiz<\/span><\/p>\n

By now, most of your friends (hopefully) know how to shut down their computers or alter their screen preferences. But wouldn\u2019t it be funny to see how they would react when their computer screen is flipped upside down? This prank has a simple solution and is user-friendly for family members or friends. To turn the screen 180<\/span>O<\/span>, simply press the keyboard shortcut CTRL + ALT + Down Arrow on Windows, and for Mac, go to System Preferences and click Display while holding down Command and Option. Then click the \u201c180\u201d option. To undo, simply use the keyboard shortcut of CTRL + ALT + Up Arrow.<\/span><\/p>\n

2.) Lollipop Laughter<\/span><\/p>\n

Do you have any spare lollipops in your dorm or room? Remove the wrapper and replace the candy with a not-so-appetizing vegetable, such as a Brussels Sprout, and put the wrapper back on the \u201clollipop.\u201d Whether this snack is going to a family member, best friend, or roommate, they\u2019ll definitely be in for a treat! (Be sure to bring some actual candy afterward to celebrate.)<\/span><\/p>\n

3.) Mirror Surprise <\/span><\/p>\n

If you have an abundance of post-it notes or colorful sticky notepads, then this prank is for you! Write a cute or funny message or draw a cool face on each post-it note and stick it to your bathroom mirror. (This should be prepared the day before April Fools\u2019.) When your roommate gets up the next day, they\u2019ll be in for a nice surprise.<\/span><\/p>\n

4.) Lost your mouse?<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the most annoying things in life is when your mouse stops connecting to your computer screen, but by taking advantage of this pet peeve for some people, you\u2019ll find yourself with a creative prank. Use a piece of paper and write \u201cGotcha!\u201d on it and stick it to the bottom of the person\u2019s mouse sensor. They won\u2019t realize they\u2019ve been pranked until they take a peek at the bottom.<\/span><\/p>\n

5.) Chocolate Heaven<\/span><\/p>\n

This activity is perfect for your friends who love chocolate! If you have any empty chocolate box from Walmart or Target, rewrap it, but instead of putting chocolate (or the original candy) in it, write a note that says, \u201cFooled you!\u201d Hand it to them with a warm smile and pat yourself on the back for a successful prank execution.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

These are only just a few of the many ways to get a nice laugh out of your friends or family, so feel free to use these as a base and get creative. But don\u2019t forget that the main idea behind April Fools\u2019 is for the person being pranked <\/span>and<\/span><\/i> the person playing the prank to both have fun. This day only comes once a year, so use it well and good luck!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
