Here are some silly ways to mess around with friends on this goofy holiday.

Who doesn’t love a good prank on annual prankster day? April 1 is the perfect time to shake off the cold and sappy weather by fooling around with your friends in time to enter into the lightness of Spring. 

There are multiple speculations as to how this silly holiday came to be. Some say that it dates back to 1952 where people cut out paper fish and placed them on fellows’ backs while yelling “April fish!” Some say April Fools comes from Rome, Italy where people would dress in disguises that mocked their acquaintances.

However April Fool’s came to be, why not take a day to create lasting and hilarious memories? If you are struggling to come up with a silly prank, you are in luck! Enjoy a curated list of  harmless pranks that you can play on your loved ones. 

1. Saran wrap the inside of a toilet seat. Be careful not to forget 😉
2. Fill up a friend’s hair dryer with flour. Just know you’ll probably have to help with the clean-up.
3. Prank call your parents with a fake call from jail. Always better to say a funny reason.
4. Put googly eyes all over objects in a friend’s apartment. See how long it takes them to notice. 
5. Hang up a “for sale” sign outside of your ex’s apartment. Cute revenge 🙂
6. Dress up like a zombie and walk around Washington Square Park. This could get creative and most likely no one will notice you.
7. Wrap a friend’s room in holiday themed wrapping paper. A classic and requires minimal clean-up.
8. Send an anonymous STI result to an ex. Wait 20 minutes, then let them in on the joke.
9. Use food coloring to change all the liquids in a household. Better yet, put it in the shower.
10. Log into your friend’s Instagram and change their bio. Insta hack: you have to wait 2 weeks to change it again.
