April Fool
Day
of Jokes
An April Fools joke
happens on 1st April. On that day there are often false
stories in the newspapers and on the television and
radio.
In most countries April Fools jokes
usually happen before midday. In France, for example,
you have 'April Fish'. Children try to secretly pin
paper fish on to each other.
Nobody knows how April Fools Day started. Perhaps it
was to celebrate the start of spring.
Did That Really Happen?
Most of these stories
are true. Some are only partly true. A few are not
really true at all.
Can
you spot the April Fool stories?
