Mean vs Nice Prank Sorting Worksheet 

This worksheet has been designed as a cut-and-paste worksheet to help your students understand the difference between mean and nice pranks on April Fools’ Day. 

Once your students have sorted the different pranks into nice or mean pranks, this is a great opportunity for a whole class discussion. Encourage your students to share their own experiences with pranks and to brainstorm ideas for harmless pranks. This can help students learn to be more empathetic and considerate of others’ feelings when playing pranks.

An answer key is included with your download to make grading fast and easy!
