I work with a 7-year-old boy who, until today, had never heard of April Fools Day. When I told him about it today, he had the best time playing April Fools Day jokes on everyone! His favorite joke was to say, "I was bad at (recess, lunch, etc)," and then start laughing and say, "April Fools!" He also liked saying, "There's a spider behind you!" And my personal favorite, after using the bathroom: "I washed my hands after I peed! April Fools!"
Now April Fools Day is over, but there are still some fun holidays to teach kids about. Want to see?
