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.

Rank Some Pranks 

A Few Free Ideas

These are a few ideas for funny senior pranks that do NOT include vandalism.

Click the little arrow to give an item a vote up.

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.34 points

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...20 points

Sleepover

The entire senior class camps out in the front yard of the school....and sleep in.19 points

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.15 points

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.11 points

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.11 points

Cement Year

Dig a hole in the grass the shape of your year...then fill with cement.9 points

Parking Problems 2

Seniors, park your cars in a maze shape nice and early making the faculty navigate through.9 points

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, ...8 points

10

For Sale By pwner

Put real estate ad in newspaper offering the school for sale.7 points

11

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.7 points

12

Dixie Cups

Purchase 700-1000 paper dixie cups. Fill them up halfway with water. Flip them over and put them throughout all of the hallways. They will be hard to get off and once they're removed the water will come out!6 points

13

SARAN WRAP

ok, get a bunch of rolls of saran wrap and wrap your principals car in a thin layer during school. When he/she gets out, they will not know what to do.5 points

14

Tire Flagpole

Drop a bunch used tires over the top of the flagpole.4 points

15

Photoshop

Edit some photos of principal to be funny - include your class year...distribute in bulk.4 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

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

18

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.3 points

19

Delivery

Order items from take out several take-out restaurants to be delivered to you at school - prepaid with credit card.3 points

20

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)....3 points

21

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 Bandits3 points

22

Rubber Duckie

Rubber Duckies in the pool or a fountain, or on a pond.3 points

23

Anyone Got a Snow Machine?

If not...rent one. Snowballs on the front lawn!2 points

24

Marching Band

Get the marching band to do a special number...at an event or just during class...perhaps some rock music...hip hop?2 points

25

Bouncing Halls

Buy thousands of bouncy balls-of all sizes- and distribute them to many seniors. During a planned time period-Like between the first two periods so they will be there all day-dump them all over the halls and stairwells.2 points

26

SNOW

Buy 40 pounds like 400 gallons of sodium polyartulate (fake snow) add wake and it poofs up put it all over the school. my school has a big main staircase it is not wet but feels like snow2 points

27

Desk and Chair Mayhem

There has to be a way that you can get into your school at night. Get in, take all of the desks and chairs, get someone with a ladder and put them all on the roof.1 point

Okay, so they pulled it off... 

But I would not suggest trying it again

These pranks did work. They were funny. But given the same set of logistics, I would not recommend anyone attempt a replay.

I think the super balls were a good idea...but on the staircase? Bad.

No No No 

These are not pranks

These are not pranks. They are vandalous, illegal, and wrong. They are not funny, but merely show that you are as stupid as everyone thinks.

- NO fire
- NO fireworks
- NO pulling the fire alarm
- NOT anything that would harm anyone
- NO contaminating food...can get dangerous...allergies...
- NO blocking exits
- NO destruction of property
- NOTHING slippery on floors or stairs
- NO animal cruelty including letting animals loose on campus...cows, chickens, pigs, mice, rats,... Even if it starts out innocent, it could end in cruelty if only accidentally.
- NO targeting one person to the point of being mean
- NO targeting any student
- 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...)
- NO fraud, NO felonies
- NOTHING that would require police, or firemen ... they have far more important things to deal with
- NO threats

would it be a good prank to spell out class of 2011 in forks on our football field baseball fields and all the places we find grass. also i ws thinking we could spell out class of 2011 in rock salt so that a few days after we spread it, the grass will die and our year wil be there. if these r good ideas email me at terrellb85@yahoo.com.

At my son's recent HS Graduation as the seniors shook hands with the principle (he was not presenting the diplomas) they patted his back or arm and left a glowing fluorescent sticky dot on his suit coat. The dots were the type used to price items at a yard sale. No harm done, but the principle was certainly making a fashion statement by the end of the ceremony. 5*.

that alarm clocks thing got a good majority of the seniors 2 years ago months in court and plenty of community service for bomb threats because they taped the batteries in so they wouldnt fall out
be real careful with that one its not as foolproof as it sounds...

Hahaha i'm a really big fan of the bouncy balls in the hallway during a pasing time! that sounds awesome :D

but for those of you who want a really good prank, without getting in trouble that is, get administration on board. my class is the first class thats been there for our vice principals first four years so he lets us get away with a lot, we got him on board with a few pranks so we don't get screwed and we can really go the nine yards becuase we have access to the school, his keys, and tons of other stuff most kids can't do = millions of posibilities :)

if you can't get anyone of authority on board, then please be safe with your pranks. don't so something stupid where you could get expelled or you lose graduation privilages, thats just dumb. have fun, go out in style, but don't do something where you screw it up for your whole class, or ruin your chance at graduating.

:) happy pranking!!

Disclaimers 

(Don't sue me already)

I am totally NOT encouraging seniors to vandalize, cause damage or injury, or harm animals in any way. Senior pranks should be harmless, but fun. Perhaps if some of us could provide funny non-violent non-destructive ideas, then kids wouldn't have to resort to bad and mean pranks. Use these pranks at you own discretion - there is no guarantee that you won't get in trouble by using them...in fact, you probably will.

Also, these are Senior Pranks as in pranks for seniors in high school or college to pull...NOT pranks on Senior Citizens. Get that clear kids...no stealing walkers and wheelchairs. Got it?
