It’s that time of year, when senior pranks are put into motion. Most senior classes plan to go to the extreme to make their prank the best. But going to the extreme could end up with jail time. To stay out of trouble, here are 15 harmless pranks that are just as fun as they are legal.

  3. Swap senior classes with another local high school for the day.
  4. Turn the cafeteria into a beach scene, with inflatable palm trees, beach balls, tiki torches, beach chairs, and a plastic pool filled with sand.
  5. Have the entire senior class bring alarm clocks and hide them all around school to go off at different times.
