Usually do a better job of planning ahead for this, but work has kept me super busy so I need some ideas. What you got? Keep in mind I have a house full of teenage girls.

Tell everybody your moving to Florida. LOL! That would be a good one. Maybe not entirely original, but you can put your own spin on things concerning the move.

I worked at a shop quite a few years ago where one of the creative employees got permission from the boss to build a fake video camera and mount it near the ceiling and in an unobtrusive corner of the shop. The fake looked absolutely real when looking at it from the shop floor. It even had a tiny red light on it to make it appear "on" and a fake wire coming out of the back. The fake camera was partially hidden but obvious enough that it was noticed by people in a couple hours. The word spread among all the employees like wildfire that they were being videoed while working.
Keep in mind, this was before the days of cameras being everywhere...
By lunch that day, two people had went in and said they were quitting and couple more went home "sick" The boss was in on the prank otherwise this could have been a real uprising. One guy that worked night shift told me he was going in to the boss and confess to not working as hard as he could have when all the brass was gone at night. He feared he was going to get fired.
That prank had everyone wound up in a big way. So much so that nobody noticed the date; April 1....

April fools day is also Easter this year. Tell the little ones to go hunt eggs you haven't hidden yet.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

April fools day is also Easter this year. Tell the little ones to go hunt eggs you haven't hidden yet. This time of year the snow is melting and the dog doo mysteriously appears. Man it’s a lotta crap and a lotta shoveling So I just rattle can the turds diff colors and let the kids pick em up and put em in their baskets. Goes pretty fast but they complain about the taste of the chocolate eggs
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

Well if the snow is still on the ground where you live don't color the eggs. Leave them white and make it harder to find them.
BTW I was joking around with 2 of my grandkids, ages 5 and 10, about telling them to hunt eggs that had not been hidden yet and they took it very seriously. Got mad at me and said that they didn't think it would be funny at all.

Biggest April Fools joke I ever played was on myself. In 1988 I walked into a recruiters office with a terrible hangover and signed a piece of paper. They took me seriously. 30years later, I’m still in uniform. Cant complain, though it’s worked out OK.

I am just wondering how 'flave is going to turn gators in to an April fools prank.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

My mother always played the same prank on my Dad, who was very habitual. Every morning, he would go to the kitchen for his cup of coffee, with two spoons of sugar. Every April 1st for years, Mom would have filled the sugar bowl with salt. Got him every time.

You got teenage girls? Find the right length screws and screw the toilet seat to the lid from the bottom.
They can still sit to do their bidness.
I could wish a lot of things on my worst enemy but neuropathy ain't one of them.

Get a flat cardboard box o' donuts.
Ya gotta buy the twists, or special donuts fore they give ya the flat box.
Take out the donuts, and put em in the same room, up high so they can't be seen, but can be smelled.
Replace em in the box with a carrot sticks and celery platter.
Close the lid and watch the fun.

One of my daughters has an empty cell phone box she plans to put in her other sister Easter basket if she can find it first.
