Sleepover parties are a perfect opportunity to play pranks. You have friends everywhere and the night can make anyone an easy target. With a little tact and ingenuity, you can learn to play pranks that will surprise your friends, without causing enmity.
Steps
Part 1 of 4: Being Correct
Step 1. Warn them
Before the sleepover begins, everyone should agree that the night will be full of pranks. Try to determine some ground rules. For example, the first one to fall asleep will be the victim of a joke. It is also possible to decide that anyone is allowed to play pranks at any time.
- Try to determine the rules for those situations in which the victim of the joke wakes up at the most beautiful or catches the joker in the act. For example, if the person playing the joke is caught in the act, then he will have to be in the victim's service all night.
- Try to stimulate creativity by limiting the items you can use for pranks. For example, you decide that you can only use shaving cream, gelatin powder and a pillow that simulates farts. Change the allowed items each time you throw a prank-based sleepover.
- Prepare a prize for the person who can prank the most people. For example, the participant who played the least pranks or who was the victim of the most pranks has to offer lunch to the best prankster of the evening.
Step 2. Set limits
Some people may have particular aversions to certain jokes. Some don't want their belongings put in the freezer, others don't want to be disturbed in the bathroom. It is absolutely important to make sure that each participant feels comfortable, so as not to risk offending someone.
Step 3. Never allow vengeful jokes
There are people who play nasty jokes with the intention of harming or taking revenge on something. If you see someone making a physically or emotionally damaging joke, point it out and tell them it's not acceptable. Jokes should be developed in an environment that positively engages everyone present, without hostility.
Step 4. Try playing a phone prank
It will be fun and will not touch any participant in the sleepover firsthand. The victim will be a friend of yours who is not present or a stranger (look for a number in the telephone directory). You will find several ideas by reading this article. Make sure the call is anonymous so it can't track you.
Part 2 of 4: Making a Prank at Night
Step 1. Get ready for bed
For example, propose watching a movie or listening to relaxing music. If no one has dozed off by midnight yet, see a friend who doesn't fall asleep easily and ask them to help you organize a sleep-inducing activity. Invite everyone to lie down on the floor or in bed. Then, in turn, you and your friend walk around the room whispering a secret to each participant. If one does not respond, approach a little closer carefully to see if he has fallen asleep. If so, then it is possible to play a joke, otherwise repeat the tour until someone has dozed off.
Step 2. Spray shaving cream on a friend who has fallen asleep
It's an easy joke and allows for harmless fun. The beauty is that you can also add a bit of creativity. Just make sure you don't spray the foam around the eye area, as it is irritating.
- In the bathroom you will surely find some shaving cream. Look for it in the cabinet where razors and other hair removal items are stored.
- Spray it on your hair, use it to create a mustache, a goatee or a weird hairstyle.
- The next morning, your friend will have a nice surprise.
Step 3. Write something on the victim's forehead
Get delectable markers or red lipstick. Make sure they are easy to eliminate and non-toxic. Pay particular attention to the lipstick, as the rightful owner may get angry to discover that it was used for a joke. When a friend is sleeping soundly, write a word or phrase on their forehead.
Step 4. Try using peanut butter
When your friend is asleep, carefully spread some peanut butter on both hands. Then, tickle his nose with a feather or other small object until he wakes up. Probably, he will be surprised and the first thing he will do is touch his face, smearing it with peanut butter.
Step 5. Freeze your friend's bra
It's a perfect joke for anyone who doesn't want to make more than a lot of preparations. Make sure your friend is asleep or away from her bag so she doesn't notice the missing bra.
- Take the bra out of her bag.
- Dip it in warm water.
- Put it in the freezer.
- Once frozen, break it in half by breaking the ice that has formed between the cups.
- Then, put it in your bag. That way, when she wears it the next morning, it will have a nice, refreshing feeling!
Step 6. Put an object in the jelly
This joke became famous thanks to the show The Office, in which a character inserts a stapler into a bowl of jelly. You will need a couple of hours, as the jelly takes time to solidify.
- Look for an object to insert into the jelly. You can use a small piece of clothing, a wallet, or a card.
- Make the gelatin by following the instructions on the package, but fill the container halfway. You may want to use the Jell-O gelatin preparation, which is readily available on the internet.
- Put the gelatin in the refrigerator and let it solidify for two hours.
- Remove the gelatin from the refrigerator and place the object on the first layer.
- Make another package of gelatin and pour it over the object.
- Return the bowl to the refrigerator and wait another two hours.
- Eventually, your friend's item will be trapped in the jelly.
Part 3 of 4: Frightening Your Friends
Step 1. Use a scary object, such as a mouse, snake, or fake bat
Think of a strategic place to hide it. A fake mouse is ideal for hiding in someone's bag or pillow. Snakes are fine for the toilet, but they can also be tucked into the shower stall. Bats can be hung on a sleeping friend's bed or in a dark area of the house.
Step 2. Use a device to change the voice
There are many apps that allow you to modify it and are useful for scaring someone. Wait for your friend to fall asleep or get distracted and stand behind him, avoiding being seen. Upload a spooky sound to the app (Darth Vader voice is usually very effective) and make threatening statements in his ear when he least expects it.
Step 3. Try a classic joke, like suddenly jumping in front of a friend
Anyone can do it, but it takes some skill to perfect the timing. Look for a strategic place to hide, such as a door or a wall where no one can see you. Wait for your victim to pass. You could ask a friend to guide her to your hiding place. Just as she is about to approach, she pops out and screams at the top of her lungs: this surprise will certainly not leave her indifferent.
Part 4 of 4: Being Sneaky
Step 1. Take off your shoes
Noisy shoes and heavy footsteps can wake up your victims easily. Before sneaking up on your friends or wandering between beds, be sure to take off your shoes and walk carefully on tiptoe. It is preferable to do this with socks or bare feet. Keep your balance when on tiptoe to avoid falling and making noise.
Step 2. Move fast
Do not take more time than necessary, otherwise you risk being caught red-handed. Plan the prank in advance and count the necessary steps to calculate the time you will need. Set a silent timer and stick to it as much as possible to avoid spoiling the joke.
Step 3. In the morning, behave innocently
Everyone will try to figure out who the prankster is, so when they accuse you, pretend to be incredulous. Try to have a calm and relaxed expression even when you want to laugh out loud or proudly proclaim your victory.
Advice
- Maximize speed and stealth without sacrificing either of these factors. If you are noisy and inaccurate during the process, speed can hurt your intent. Similarly, stealth is useless when it takes too long to play the prank. Learn to be quiet and fast.
- Ask a friend to help you play a particularly stealthy prank. Try to make alliances to protect yourself and get help with elaborate jokes.
Warnings
- Never be indelicate, otherwise your friends may leave.
- If a person feels too bad about it, stop the joke. Someone can be sensitive, so it's important to respect their emotions should a joke hurt them.
