Legend says … April

Fools Day started with a change in the calendar. The “new year” celebration was moved from April 1st to Jan 1st.

In the 1500’s, some people began playing tricks on the

tricks on the “fools”. Over time, April 1st became

a day of playing tricks, and a challenge – a competition of sorts - to see who could come up with the best prank.

Today, almost 500 years later, April 1st is still a day when tricks are played on people in a spirit of fun. Anyone who plays a mean trick is just being mean. For the rest of us, April Fool's Day is a challenging game of trickery!

In France, April 1st is called

"Poisson d'Avril." French kids play a special game on this day.

The object of the game is to tape a paper fish on someone's back without that person noticing.

When the victim spots the fish taped to their back, the kids yell "Poisson d’Avril!" (April Fish!)

"April Fish", in my region of the country (in

Belgium), not only applies to the paper (or real) fish being stuck to

someone's back, but to the tricks
played on that day in general.

expression would be (translated into English)
that I've baked you an April's Fish. Even the
media (press and radio) try to bake an April's
Fish by adding something untrue to the news.”

day set aside to play small, clever tricks on

people. Placing salt in the sugar bowl when no one is looking is not a real trick. Where's the cleverness in that? (The ancient Greeks would have turned up their noses at such a pathetic attempt.)

A real April Fool's trick takes thought, creativity, timing, and a bit
of acting.

There are rules to this game. 1. Your trick must be

trick must be harmless.
2. Your victim must
believe you.
3.

Your trickery must
make your victim at least
smile (or better yet,
laugh) when you shout "April Fool's!" Otherwise, it does not qualify as an April Fool's Day trick.
