2 Easy April Fools Day Ideas for Teachers

Easy Idea submitted by a teacher friend in AZ:

“I went to school today with straight hair (I always curl my hair), and wore clothes that I had never worn to school.  I also wore tallish sandals which I don’t wear to school.  When I went to pick up my second grade kids from the playground to start the day, I had my teaching partner introduce me to my class as my twin sister, the substitute for the day.  It was pretty fun.  I acted like I didn’t know their names, the routine, etc.  After a half hour, most of the kids were  believing that I was my sister.  It was pretty funny.  I finally told them April Fool’s Day after a couple of hours, when 2 of my kids began arguing about who I was.  The more vocal of the two was defending the position that I was indeed the sister.  They enjoyed the prank!”

A sixth grade neighbor of ours told me about this prank his teacher pulled last year:

His teacher said their class was participating in a contest. He said they all had to write paragraphs about how their class could use I Pads in the classroom.  The teacher told them that the class with the best paragraphs would get I Pads.  So everyone worked diligently on the paragraphs.  On April Fool’s Day, the teacher told them they won and the I Pads were on their desks for them when they walked in the room.  The students were very excited, but moaned as they discovered an eye pad on each desk! Here is an example of the eye pads the teacher handed out.

Happy April Fool’s Day!
