Last year, I wrote out all the nurses' assignments backwards so that they would have to hold it up to a mirror to read it.
I also emptied some soup cans by taking the bottoms off, washing them out and reattaching the bottoms after putting some highly springy springs inside the cans and got the kids to open them right side up.
The kids decided it would be "backwards" day so they wore all their clothes backwards, just to be silly.
Last year I called my mom and told her I won the Lottery. It was a Sunday and she woke up my father and brother to tell them the good news. When she got back on the phone, my children and I yell April Fool.
I have a colleague that had been talking about his new lemon tree he planted in his backyards several months previously. He kept talking about how big his lemons were getting. On April Fool's last year he brought in a pommelo and said it was his biggest lemon yet! Some of the people I work with had never seen a pommelo before so they didn't know any better. Hahaha!

PS: A pommelo is a huge citrus fruit that can grow to the size of a bowling ball!
When I was at school we sat at desks that had a fold-down seat.
One day I took some caps (toy gun cartidges) and placed them against the stop on every seat.
When everyone had chorused: "Good morning Mr Fleuriot" (we had to remain standing until then) the whole class sat down and all the caps exploded. Bang bang bang.
He guessed instantly that I was the culprit, for which I received 2 strokes of the cane, 1 on each hand.
I have to admit that children are best with these April Fools pranks. I was awaken this morning to my daughter yelling............momma, get up quick! There is a policeman outside and he wants to talk to you right now! I about broke my neck getting out of bed, only to be told. April Fools!
I don't want someone in my life I can live with. I want someone in my life I can't live without.
Well my most recent prank was on the school bus this morning. Instead of turning right into the school I headed straight. Of course the kids jumped all over me and I told them I was stopping off at the Cafe to get them all a good morning icecream cone. I stopped, they got up, I yelled APRIL FOOLS and of course they jumped all over me again.
But this afternoon I'll have a cooler on the bus and everyone will get an ice cream sandwich.
