April Fools’ Day Pranks To Play On Your Friends In 2017

April 3, 2017

Senior, Zoe Cuva says “I love April Fools’ Day because me and my friends have so much fun with it! We always play pranks on each other.”

April Fools’ Day is almost upon us and that means time to start pranking friends. These April Fools’ Day jokes are just what you need to help bring a little laughter to this stressful week.

The history of April Fools’ Day is a bit unknown, but it is thought to be originated from France back in the 1500s. Since there was a lack of communication between people during the time, people would send wrong information every year on a specific day. Eventually, people would catch onto the idea, and thus, April Fools’ Day was born.

 

Changing the Language of a Friend’s Phone

  • If you know the password of your friend’s phone, go to the settings and change the language so that when they log in they will be so confused with the change of language on their phone and will not be able to decipher anything.

 

Create a fake audition or casting call 

  • Telling friends they have received an audition for their favorite show is the perfect April Fools’ Day Prank. First, create an online event with details for the show or audition that is filming in Tampa. Ask them to submit a 60-second video about why are perfect for the show and a sample for them to sing. Once they realize there was no show to audition for they will be embarrassed and fooled!

Serve Carmel Onions
