How do I use the April Fools' Silly Challenge Pack?

Hand out the directions page first and watch who reads to the end. Everyone is in on the joke by the last step, and the word search and coloring page make good follow-ups for early finishers.
What is the April Fools' Silly Challenge Pack?
⌄
Three pages after the cover. Read All the Directions First lists 12 silly steps, and the last one says April Fools! and asks for only steps 2 and 5, with a kind note that everyone gets fooled sometimes. Spring Word Search hides 12 spring words, with the last one, APRIL FOOLS, running down the middle in plain sight, and Laugh Out Loud is a laughing monkey to color. Answer key for the word search included.
Can I use the April Fools' Silly Challenge Pack at home and in the classroom?
⌄
Yes. We made it for 3rd Grade to 5th Grade holiday activities, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.
How many 3rd Grade to 5th Grade April Fools' Day resources are there?
⌄
2 printable resources, all free to preview. There are 8 April Fools' Day resources in all, from Kindergarten to 5th Grade, gathered on our April Fools' Day activities page. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.
What age are April Fools' Day resources for?
⌄
These are written for 3rd Grade to 5th Grade students, roughly ages 8-11. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.
Can I use these April Fools' Day resources for homeschool?
⌄
Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a 3rd Grade to 5th Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
