In the mid—1560s king Charles IX changed it from march 25 to January 1. Some people still celebrated in on April 1, so others called them April fools. About April fools’ Day

  24. In France, people call the April fools “April fish”. they tape a paper fish to their friends backs to fool them. when he or she finds this , they shout “April fish!” Celebration in different countries

  25. In England, people play jokes only in the morning. you are a “noodle” if someone fools you. in Scotland, April fools day is 48 hours long. they call an April fool “April gowk”. gowk is another name for a cuckoo bird. In the America, people play small jokes on their friends and any other people on the first of April. they may point down to your shoe and say, “ your shoelace is untied.” if you believe them and look down to see, you are an April fool then.

  28. Before one of your family members takes shower, remove the shower head and place a life-saver candy in it, replace the shower head with the candy now trapped in it. When the person takes a shower he or she will not notice, until they get out and start to dry off the towel will stick to them they will get back in the shower to rinse off... works like a charm.
