What is your favourite April Fool’s Joke? My kids love to play jokes and they rarely miss a chance to prank me. They could make a full day of it or maybe even a week of it.
Looking for a few cute word games to round out the day or prepare for the pranks? Check out my April Fool’s Word Search below for a few minutes of fun. I mean when my kids were younger they loved these games and crosswords were also a huge hit.

Nobody really has a clear understanding of how this day actually came about. There’s some speculation it might have started in France, but the origin story is pretty much a mystery. To me, it is just a fun little opportunity to share a laugh or two.
Best Pranks so Far
One year one of my teens at the time gathered all of the spoons and froze them in a container in the freezer. That was a shock when I opened the drawer to find the spoon for breakfast and found them all much later in the freezer. Another time my youngest tried to tell me the toilet was smoking. In fact, they’d simply dressed the toilet up to look like it had a cigarette out of it. Finally, there was a time one kid picked out a screen saver of some sort and splashed it across the television then tried to convince me they broke the TV.
