40 Interesting School Pranks

School time reminds us of those fun days during which we not only learnt some of the most important basics of life but we also made some best friends of our lives. There use to be fights, playing sessions, study classes and among all the best thing was playing a prank with teachers and other children of my class. Every day a new prank used to be there.

Reverse class: if a majority of your classroom’s furniture is removable, then a nice and effective high school senior prank can be tried upon. To initiate with the prank, you first need to put the teacher’s desk at the back of the class; this means facing the front of the class. Then arrange all the student tables and chairs facing towards the teacher’s table. Ensure that there is similar distance between the back of the class to the last desk as it was before doing this reorientation. Also, reattach the blackboard behind the teacher’s desk. If there are some posters in the class, then change their position as well. In a nut shell, you have to totally re-arrange your class but with similar characterizations and dimensions as it was earlier. Windows can’t be removed, so you can print pictures of windows and paste them on walls to bring similar impact. Newspapers can be used to cover up the original windows. This way you can fool your teachers and some of your rival classmates.


Masked Streaker(s): If you have a fit volunteer (or volunteers) who doesn’t have any problem if he is made running nude in the hallways; then get a mask for him and allow him to wear it and start running naked through the area. Make sure you place some of your clothed accomplices at the doorways, so that at the time of emergency he could be clothed immediately. Also, be sure to plan the start and the end routes of this activity in such a way that they are out of public view, like toilets. Once your streaker starts running through the doorway, you scrabble around to flaunt as if you were not at all aware about what was going on. This way you can slow down any security or staff that might be chasing after your streaker. Be ready with the clothes of your streaker, so that he could be clothed immediately.


Meat ‘Cake’: Birthday pranks are the funniest pranks to play. They not only bring lots of fun but also fool out the birthday boy or the girl. Prepare a meat loaf ‘cake’ for this birthday gag. Give it the same shape as of those normal birthday cakes and do some of the best frosting icing over it also. Use whipped potato and add some food coloring to make it look more special. Once you are ready with the cake, be prepared with a camera too. Clicking those first expressions of the victim upon taking the first bite of your meat cake will be the best part of this prank.


 

Tap burst: This one is a simple, effective and hilarious kid prank to pull off. You simply need to tape the faucet in your victim’s bathroom so that it is not totally shut. Leave some space empty in a particular direction. This way, as soon as the victim will open the rigged tap quickly, the water will jet out with high speeds towards him and wet his pants. So it is a good way of fooling your friends and teachers around at school.


Glued Coin: Apply good amount of Glue onto a coin and place it on the table. Ask the victim to pick it up and enjoy watching your victims trying to pick it up in vain. Soon you will notice a lot many suckers around trying to remove it, but all failed. It is a hilarious plan to play onto your friends and relatives.
