Any ideas for April Fool's Day?

[happypcgal]

I have a show on April 1st. Told the host I'd do something wacky. Of course, I immediately had a brain freeze and haven't been able to come up with an idea. I checked on Chef Success but no luck with the words I've plunked in for a search.

Ideas?

I have our meeting on April 1st so I was also trying to think of something fun to do.......

[Happy Chef]

I heard of a host who had one on 4/1. She told everyone to dress backwards-she rehung her pictures in her home all upside down and anything else that could be set that way. The host was really into it. Even the consultant wore her clothes and apron backwards.

That would be so much fun!

This is the info from this weeks Monday Motivation...there are some great ideas that I really hope my team takes advantage of`:)

APRIL FOOL’S DAY….

Do you have a show on April 1st—Have some SIMPLE fun with these easy ideas!

(Thanks Shelly Andrus for sharing with the Director’s Loop)

Serve chopsticks with whatever food you are serving
When you send the invitation cut them up into puzzle pieces and put them in the envelope!
Ask them if they'd like a "Diet Water" to drink
Make them wear bibs when they eat (those paper ones are cheap)
Pass out pencils for them to use with their order that aren't sharpened
Give them astronomical totals at checkout.... "that will be $5, 500.67"
Stick little fake spiders in the bottoms of their glasses
Print out of some of the following Brain Teasers and put them in some of the show folders, and have guests read them sporadically throughout the show:
Start off by saying “Thank you all for coming today, I'll be glad to take your orders now!” Then say “April Fools!”
Wear your apron backwards!
Have guests introduce themselves starting with their last name first? Or …. have them attempt to say their first name backwards!


Brain Teasers
Brainteasers and riddles are not only good pastimes but also stimulate your mind and sharpen your thinking skills. Sometimes, they are just meant for fun. Children to adults love to engage their minds with some of the witty and funny ones. We present you some interesting brain teasers that you can ask your friends, next time you meet them:

Name three numbers that give the same result when added or multiplied together - 1, 2, 3
Name the bone with a sense of humor - Humorous Bone
It walks all day on its head. What is it? - A nail in a horseshoe
It is round as a dishpan and all the water in the ocean can't fill it up. What is it? - A sieve
More you take, more you leave behind. What are they? - Footsteps
Name it and you will break it - Silence
Name the thing that touches only one person yet bounds two people together - Wedding Ring
Can you read this? - "The phaonmneel pweor of the hmuan mnid: I cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdgnieg. Aoccdrnig to a rscheearcr at Cmagbride Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers of a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae.

If you overtake the second person in the race, which position will you gain? – Second, as you overtook the second person, you are in his/her place now.

Thanks iteachurkid! I love the idea of starting the show by saying "I'll take your orders now and then saying April Fools" Very simple and great way to break the ice and make sure they realize it is April First and some wacky things might happen!!!! Will use several of those ideas I'm sure!
