The Tradition Lives On
Of course you want your class to be remembered. You want to leave a legacy. A well planned, well executed senior prank is perfect for that. The whole point of the senior prank is to leave a memory, for you, your classes, your teachers, and your community. A senior prank is a mark of school spirit.
To be successful you'll need organization, planning, persuasion, creativity, and follow through. You must be creative in coming up with the concept. You must plan out logistics. You must tell those you need and those who can be trusted. You must persuade people to do their job, and do it quietly. You must be organized - everyone must know their role. And you must follow through with the prank and the clean up.
It may be possible to enlist janitors, or teachers you are close to...with persuasion. The key to this is explaining that you want their help, so things don't get out of hand. They may be willing to help out a GOOD PRANK in an effort to prevent a bad one. Also, let them know that all money and cleanup involved will be completed by students.
It is a moment where you can show that you are smart enough to pull one over on them. It is not to get revenge on a teacher or school you don't like, nor is it to cause destruction. This is not meant to be a display of stupidity. Grow up.

Click the little arrow to give an item a vote up.
1
Alarm Clock Mayhem
Set alarm clocks to go off about 2 minutes from each other...hide them all around the school...in lockers, bathrooms, ceiling tiles, vents, ...
Put signs around that say Alarm Clock Day or something, so people don't mistake the sound for a bomb.42 points
2
Letter Men
Everyone needs to get a t-shirt with a letter (or number) on it - you can make them with iron on decals. Just one big letter. Different colors, different styles, on the front or back. Throughout the day, stand near people making words in the hall...snap photos. So letters D, O, R, and K can run next to principal and quickly snap photo. They can't exactly make the whole class change, but they can however ask you put your shirt on inside out...so as a precaution, put another letter on the othe...30 points
3
Sleepover
The entire senior class camps out in the front yard of the school....and sleep in.23 points
4
State Flowers
In most states (check yours) it is illegal to dig up the state flower (or sometimes tree). So if you plant the state flower in the shape of your class year, then they cannot legally dig them up.20 points
5
Tiny Bookmarks
Create thousands of tiny bookmarks saying something like Class of '0? - Senior Prank; or Class of '0? was Here. Put them in thousands of books in the library ... 10 years later people will still be finding them.15 points
6
Parking Problems 1
Seniors, park your cars in a circle around the school...so close together that a person would have to climb over a car to get to the building.14 points
7
Swap for Diploma
Have everyone slip something into the principal's hand when you shake hands at graduation. Examples: a marble, a bouncy ball, a cigarette (if he smokes), a penny, a fortune cookie fortune, ...11 points
8
For Sale By pwner
Put real estate ad in newspaper offering the school for sale.10 points
9
Parking Problems 2
Seniors, park your cars in a maze shape nice and early making the faculty navigate through.10 points
10
Doorknobs
Rub Vaseline over the doorknobs so that when the bell rings everyone's hands will be slimy for the rest of the day. If your hand rails are yellow like mine; get some mustard from the cafeteria and use that. Do NOT put Vaseline into locks. Do not put it on railings that are on steps.8 points
11
Used Car Lot
Turn the faculty parking lot into a used car lot, complete with balloons, salesmen in suits, window stickers, and soap drawn prices - if possible, get giant blow up animal.5 points
12
Delivery
Order items from take out several take-out restaurants to be delivered to you at school - prepaid with credit card.4 points
13
Letters to the Staff
Send letters to the faculty and staff (at home addresses - look them up). Have the return address label be something funny...that may have a spouse or kid scratching their head. Add letter inside stating that your class shall not be forgotten. Return Address Possibilities: National Association of Overprotective Parents, Parents Wanting No Drama (PWND), The New Kakistocracy (kakistocracy means government by the least qualified or most unprincipled citizens)....4 points
14
Photoshop
Edit some photos of principal to be funny - include your class year...distribute in bulk.4 points
15
Post-it Note Mayhem
Come in early enough so this will work- If there is a certain hall in your school, get a whole bunch of post-it notes and cover that hall with them entirely. Write a message on a few so people will stop and look at them, even spell out something on the floor. Then, around school, have various post-it notes labeling: Class of 0?- Post-it Bandits4 points
16
Class Relocated
On a nice day, move all chairs outside in class size groups. Post a room number on each group. Inside, on the door of each classroom post note like "Class relocated to the flagpole". Report to class..outside.4 points
17
Rubber Duckie
Rubber Duckies in the pool or a fountain, or on a pond.4 points
18
Bouncing Halls
Buy thousands of bouncy balls-of all sizes- and distribute them to many seniors. Dump them all over the hall. The stairwells are off limits!4 points
19
Zip Tie/Cable Tie fun
Get a ton of zip ties(pretty cheap in bulk.) Get every desk, chair, or other mobile object and zip tie them to something that is solid and can't be lifted(i.e. a post, hand rail.) In my school the little rail on the second floor has a chain link type fence. Make sure to pull the zip tie as tight as possible to make for harder cutting off. If your really into it move on and get everyone's locker too.4 points
20
Anyone Got a Snow Machine?
If not...rent one. Snowballs on the front lawn!3 points
21
Marching Band
Get the marching band to do a special number...at an event or just during class...perhaps some rock music...hip hop?3 points
22
FREEZE!!!
Heard of the Grand Central Freezing point? Well you can make a class of '0- freezing point. Make sure most of the seniors are in on the prank (include a few juniors, sophomores, and freshmen). Everyone should meet up in the auditorium or a classroom big enough to fit everyone. Then make sure everyone has synchronized their watches/phones... then tell everyone to scatter around the whole school... when the watch/phone goes off... everyone should freeze... its the coolest/freakiest thing ever!!!3 points
23
Cellphone Chaos
Everyone who has cellphones, turn the ringer on high during a class. Be sure to have the same ring tone everyone else has. Then, have everyone turn their ringer on one minute after each other, or when the ring tone of the person before them ends. For a bigger affect, get all the seniors at your school to do this at the same time.3 points
24
Dumble...Door
On every door in the school put a sign on it that says DUMBLE and see how long it takes the school to get it. (like dumbledore)2 points
25
Zombies!
Put a huge Zombies Ahead sign out front. Then everyone dress like a zombie.1 point
26
Foam Peanuts
Fill a room with packaging peanuts. Better yet, put cellophane wrap around windows and fill the gap between the cellophane and the window with packaging peanuts. From the outside, it will appear that the whole room is filled.1 point

- NOTHING resulting in large expense to the school
- NO tp-ing the place (it's just stupid)
- NOTHING that can get someone fired (don't drop porn in teacher's desk...)

- The best senior pranks to me have been the ones where there's cups filled with water in the rooms and hallway or when live bugs like crickets are let loose.

- I actually organized the swap for the diploma prank. The principal had a great sense of humor. When he finished handing out the diplomas he had a huge pile of quarters on the table, and a handful in his pocket. He walked to the microphone and declared, "I really do not appreciate...the person who only gave me a nickel. Don't think I don't know who you are." Haha great times. I made a lens about dorm pranks. Feel free to check it out:
