The most memorable and all-important last days of senior year as they say should always go out with a bang. You can certainly bring this old tradition to a new level with senior pranks escalating to the almost impossible and incorrigible. With these in mind you should avoid acts that can border on the illegal or reckless. These insanely ridiculous acts performed by the school’s graduating class certainly can grab anyone’s attention.
Fill the hallways with cups of water.
This prank calls for time and patience. It is quite an unexpected challenge in the halls in trying not to let anyone in class. It is almost impossible to weave through this maze without knocking off one or two on the way. As a result, wet puddles and socks make for a grand entrance or exit so to speak.
Decoratie the principal’s office with what nots.
Attempting to break in to the principal’s office is a feat. What more than to decorate it? Hang rolls of tissue paper on the ceiling and walls and place a big tissue faced “secretary” by the table.
Fill the lift with haystacks or balloons or balls.
Trying to go up the second floor? This main blockade can stop you on your tracks. You can also fill the school lift with balloons, and similar items like ping pong balls or numerous Styrofoam balls and shredded paper.
Wrap with cling wrap the main staircase.
For the grand entrance or main hall why not keep everyone out of class by doing a cling wrap blockade? Wrap each balustrade in a zigzag manner for a tougher and stronger structure. You need more than a pair of scissors for this one. It surely is quite a long and slow day to begin your class of the year so why not stop everyone from coming- well only temporarily that it is.
Wrap the principal’s car in foil or cling wrap.
Have your principal come out of the parking lot dazed with a car wrapped in foil or cling wrap. This petty prank can make your school head not entirely forget the seniors of the year. Top it up with balloons, the school mascot or a stuff toy and a farewell message for a memorable prank.
Create a maze of desks.
Getting through the hallway is a breeze with students weaving in and out of classrooms. How about having a string of school chairs strewn all over? Have balls of yarn to make an inescapable web for those trying to get in the class.
Spread alarm clocks all throughout the lockers.
Make your last day a noisy and memorable one with alarm clocks scattered in every corner, hallway and locker. Get those party poppers rigged on the school doors and trigger everything at once all the same hour. This prank is sure to be funny and harmless at the same time.
Do the foil or plastic wrap.
Make your canteen look intergalactic and enter in the space age with foil all across tables, chairs and walls. This should be done with the janitor’s knowledge at least to let him or her know some clean up might be involved. Pranks like these are easy to deal with and grab the attention of everyone.
Create a bubble bath in the school fountain.
That ever present fountain in the front yard of the school maybe a part of the beautiful façade that the campus turns on every grand school event. Why not make this main fixture extra special and grand for seniors and other students alike by turning it into an unexpectedly fun, giant bubble bath? Pour loads of bubble bath mixture to make a giant fountain foam party come out for everyone to take pictures with and enjoy.
Fill the classroom sinks with Cheerios.
This would carry a happy tune for anyone who hasn’t had breakfast- or not? It may seem unhygienic to pick out of the school sinks but it’s a pretty cool and clever surprise when going for a quick freshening up in the toilet. Finish off with a lipstick smeared mirror with cute sayings like, “Eat me please.” Or “Had any breakfast?”
Decorate the parking spot of the principal.
Cover the grounds where the school principal parks with a small life boat. Put some dummies in with fishing gear and bucket to make it a scene at the pond. This will make for a ruckus and the victim will likely appreciate the effort in it although do a double parking for the lack of space.
Cover all the boards with Post-Its.
This may not be an original idea but to keep up with this is turning to be an old cherished tradition. Write special messages on some of these tiny pieces of sticky notes to put strategically where the doorknobs are, buttons on the lift, or the Room number on each classroom door. It can confuse and create havoc, but it can be loads of fun for a slight disruption in class.
Bring lawn and school chairs outside.
Having a hard time finding a seat? How about taking the class outside the classroom and putting school desks and chairs in the outdoors? Put these strategically on the huge lawn of your school to prove a point that the outdoors can be another room for class.
Let animals loose in campus.
Have you heard of miniature pigs running around the small pet farm? Well how about having these adorable piglets squeal and get chased around campus hallways? It’s a unique and cutesy prank. You can even have a special message attached to each pig or place the school mascot or emblem on its back. Put a tiny tiara or a set of wings to make these sweet four legged creatures more delightful and adorable to run after.
Let loose your inner Care Bear.
Being a mascot is no fun but these special Care Bear costumes can bear the brunt. No pun intended as these comfortable and huggable bears are known for their share and stare as well as their bear hugs. Full of sunshine this can do for an easy pick me up Extra warmth is guaranteed as the furry costume adds a little more sunshine to someone’s dull day. You can add a little whimsy with cotton balls and miniature flags to surround the school signage. You can also cover the school name temporarily with the name Care-A-Lot, the famous kingdom of the Care Bears.
Bring the principal to jail.
One of the most common high school prank revolves around the principal. This requires a principal who can take a joke or someone with a good standing in the community. It also usually involves the help of the school security or the local police department. You don’t want him to really land in jail, just to sit there for a while. One prank involved the collusion of the school security. The principal was informed by security that his newly bought pre-owned motorcycle was stolen property. He was then led out of the school and to the station, in handcuffs for the whole student body to see.
Cover the principal’s car with Post-It Notes.
There are other ways to prank the principal without going to the police or involving the school security. One enterprising graduating class pranked their principal by putting post-it notes all over the Principal’s car. The principal was game enough to have his picture taken in front of his post-it note covered car.
Distribute fake penis inspection flyers.
This is one prank that has gone viral, and it would be hard to repeat it because it of its popularity. A flyer was circulated informing the student’s that there would be a penis inspection at school. Citing a non-existent health ordinance, the inspection flyers were circulated around the school. The flyer instructs the male students to go to the gym at the designated hour for the penis inspection. This is one way to get a raise from the male students.
Draw a penis around the campus.
Penis drawings may look juvenile, but they are relatively easy to draw, but hard to implement. One school had a penis drawn on the football grounds. The students drew a large penis pointing at the school name written on the grounds. They also used the same painting material used in drawing the lines of the football field.
Use Jell-O in the pool.
Using Jell-O can be a little trickier than most pranks, especially when filling up the swimming pool. This is not an easy task but it can set overnight. Draining the pool of Jell-O on the other hand is a harder task.
Try a Les Miserables theme.
One school had a day of Les Miserables. The students went to school early and piled up the furniture in the hallway, like the play’s barricade scene. They also had French flags for completeness. To top that off, the students played the Les Miserables soundtrack whenever anyone tried to get past the barricade.
Put tires around the flagpole.
One school managed to stack steel-belted tires around the flagpole. Since the tires could not be cut off, these had to be lifted one by one.

Another VW Beetle prank involved the flagpole. The car’s interiors were removed, and then the seniors managed to put it around the flagpole. To make things even harder, cement was poured inside the Beetle.
Place a Beetle on the roof.
Cars have been part of pranks since the early days. There have been instances of Volkswagen beetles placed on the school building roof. Usually this involves using a crane to carry the car to the roof.
Let them find the Four Pigs.
One particularly devilish prank involved three pigs. These were marked with the numbers 1, 2, and 4. The faculty and staff took several hours to realize that there was no number 3.
