April Fools' Day is all about playing pranks and if you don't want to be on the receiving end, you'll have to start early.

From light-hearted tricks you can play on the kids, to hilarious pranks that are perfect for your friends and family, to funny office antics for your colleagues, there are plenty of things you can do to get in the April Fools' Day spirit.

Here are 10 funny ideas that you can give a go and don't forget - it finishes at midday on Friday April 1!

1. Attach a horn to your colleague's chair

Make sure you cellotape the horn to the bottom of your colleague's chair

Cellotape an air horn to the underneath of your colleagues chair so that when they sit down it goes off!

2. Make jelly drinks for the kids

Want to play a prank on the kids? Undrinkable jelly juice is a funny trick

Your children won't know what to do with undrinkable juice! Make jellies in normal cups in the same colour as their favourite drink, stick a straw in, serve it up and watch them attempt to drink it.

3. No TV tonight

Prank your family members by stopping them from watching TV

Play a prank on your family members by placing a small piece of clear cellotape over the sensors on the TV box and remote control and watch everyone panic that there will be no TV!

4. Toilet tricks

The cling film/toilet prank is an old, but extreme one!

You've probably heard of this one before, but you mightn't have actually carried it out! If you're trying to get your own back after being pranked, why not lift the toilet lid up, cover the seat in cling film and close it. You can guess what happens next...

5. Bug filled lunch

Slip a little extra something into the packed lunches on April Fools Day

Get your hands on a bag of jelly insects and tuck them into your children's, other half's or colleague's lunch!

6. Can't get clean

Watch what your family do when the soap won't lather

Paint a bar of soap with clear nail polish to stop it from lathering. Watch and see what your family do when they can't get clean!

7. Slippery door handles

Want to make it hard for people to get about? Stick Vaseline on the door handles

If you haven't got a lot of time to set up your prank, simply put some Vaseline on a door knob to make it extra slippery.

8. Early wake up call

Prank your family by setting the clocks forward

Set all clocks an ahead and watch as your house rush to get ready while you know they have plenty of time!

9. Ear piercing volume

A really loud TV will give anyone earache first thing in the morning!

For another quick and easy trick, turn the TV up really loud the night before so the first person who turns it on in the morning will get the fright of their life!

10. Cracked screen

Make your colleague think their computer screen is broken!

Download a good picture of a cracked computer screen and set it as your colleague's screensaver so they think they've broken it!
