About This Worksheet
April Fool’s Day is about harmless fun and jokes that make everyone laugh. For young children it is a chance to spot what is silly or out of place, which builds careful looking and thinking.
Children find words such as joke, prank and silly, choose the silly answer, match funny faces, finish a picture using a grid, guide a prankster through a maze, find the silly picture, colour a prankster, tick the bigger object, name hat colours and count silly objects.
