Tricks for sleep
When kids go away together or even a bunch of adults – a lot of us think about playing tricks while people sleep. Here a some fun ideas:
1. put a shower cap on their head
2. paint their toe nails
3. place a teddy with the person and take photos
4. If the bed is movable – put it somewhere else (keep it safe and still fun)
5. give them a red clown nose
6. paint a small thing on their face
7. put a Whoopi cushion under their pillow (a self inflatable one!)
The most important thing to remember is it is fun and not just fun for the people playing the trick – fun for the person who is tricked. And if you play a trick on someone you must be able to take it if a trick is played on you. Thirdly, keep it non-offensive and give the trick some thought and decide whether it is appropriate for the person. Don’t do the same trick on the same person – this could be hurtful – share the tricks around!
You brought back some sleeping prank memories Shaz! When I was in the Army we had to sleep with one eye open, not from fear of being attacked by the enemy but from fear of being sleep pranked. Moving the bed outside along with everything else like locker, desk and clothes was a favourite. So was painting teeth black, drawing scars on the face, putting crackers in pockets, posing with various inappropriate props for photos, building structures over the top of them, the hand in the warm glass of water, shaving cream, tomato sauce …………………………..
Thank goodness I have never been sleep pranked! I would never want to sleep!! Thanks for your comment.
