I had a little fun today. On my board up front, I always write a list of the order of events for the class that day. Today the first item on the list was "Quiz/Test Chapter 21". The kids saw this and started to panic, asking each other "did you know we had a quiz? Oh my god I'm gonna fail!" (This was only funny because this actually happens to about 2-5% of the kids on any test day, since some of them just can't remember to study for tests.) Before this went too far, I told the students to stop complaining and open the book and study chapter 21. When they did, a look of realization dawned. There are only 20 chapters in the book. I smiled at them and yelled "Gotcha! April Fools!"
