How to play April Fools' Day bingo
- Give each player a card and something to mark squares with.
- The caller reads words from the caller's list in any order, ticking each one off.
- Players mark a word when it's called. The middle square is free.
- The first to complete a row, column or diagonal shouts "Bingo!" and the caller checks the card.
Print 2 cards to a page to save paper, cut them apart, and use candy, cereal or buttons as markers. The caller’s list on the last page makes calling easy.
Good to know
- No one knows exactly how April Fools' Day started. One popular theory ties it to France's switch to the Gregorian calendar in 1582, when people who still marked the new year in spring were teased as fools.
- In France, children try to stick a paper fish on someone's back and call out "Poisson d'avril!" (April fish).
- In 1957 a British TV news program aired a straight-faced report on Swiss farmers harvesting spaghetti from trees, one of the most famous April Fools' hoaxes ever.
