Taking a break from the daily grind to play a friendly prank on your co-worker’s is a great way to build camaraderie and company culture. Here are 10 of our favorite office pranks found from around the web. **1.** This is better than a prank because it’ll make someone’s day! Who wouldn’t want to open a boring, old filing cabinet and find it filled with colorful fish? Here’s what you do: 1) Remove the files from a frequently used filing cabinet. 2) Line the drawer with thick-ish plastic lining. 3) Fill it with water and place in some goldfish. 4) Close the drawer, and wait for your colleague to find his new office pets. – [Reader’s Digest](https://www.rd.com/funny-stuff/april-fools-office-pranks/) **2.** Here’s a trick everyone will happily fall for. Replace the water in the water cooler with wine. All you have to do is take an empty water canister, pour in the vino, and put it back on the cooler. If your coworkers are teetotalers, try tonic water. – [Reader’s Digest](https://www.rd.com/funny-stuff/april-fools-office-pranks/) **3.** Fill your boss’s office with balloons. This one is a classic and never gets old, except to the person whose office you are filling. We actually did this prank at our offices, as the above photo suggests. From experience, we would highly recommend. - [Mashable](https://mashable.com/2017/03/31/easy-office-pranks-april-fools/#ptPFsDNt3mqE) **![10 Office April Fools Pranks To Play At Your Small Business](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/hs-fs/hubfs/paper-933661_640.jpg?width=299&name=paper-933661_640.jpg "10 Office April Fools Pranks To Play At Your Small Business")4.** Wrap everything at your co-worker’s desk, including their desk. This one is directly out of the book of Jim Halpert, although he took the extra cruel step of completely replacing Dwight's desk and chair with cardboard so that it collapsed when Dwight attempted to actually use them. You can just stick to covering everything with wrapping paper that's already there. - [Mashable](https://mashable.com/2017/03/31/easy-office-pranks-april-fools/#ptPFsDNt3mqE) **5.** Bring in a donut box filled with vegetables and healthy snacks instead of mouthwatering donuts. – [Quantum Workplace](https://www.quantumworkplace.com/future-of-work/7-april-fools-pranks-for-the-office) **6.** Rearrange the keys on your co-workers keyboard. Funny with very little effort. – [Quantum Workplace](https://www.quantumworkplace.com/future-of-work/7-april-fools-pranks-for-the-office) **7.** Steal an item of value from your victim. Objects of value such as special writing tools, a nice mouse, an ergonomic keyboard, or a personal coffee cup, work well. Take a picture of the item and leave it on their desk along with a ransom note. Extra points for wearing a wicked mustache! – [Sales HQ](http://saleshq.monster.com/news/articles/3584-april-fools-day-fool-proof-pranks-for-the-office?page=2) **8.** They say the pen is mightier than the sword. Have you tried testing that theory? Take all the pens from your colleague’s desk and paint some of the tips with clear nail polish so that they won’t write. With the remaining pens, glue the caps to the pens so that they won’t come off! Sit back and watch as your coworker goes through everything, trying to find something to write with! (Note: You can remove the nail polish by dipping the pens in nail polish remover. No harm, no foul. – [Sales HQ](http://saleshq.monster.com/news/articles/3584-april-fools-day-fool-proof-pranks-for-the-office?page=3) **9.** Post-It your co-worker’s car. It's a classic. You did it in high school, and it's time to do it again. Make sure you have someone watching your victim in the office who can alert you if they are headed out of the building. If you work somewhere that has a parking garage, this prank was basically made for you. - [Bustle](https://www.bustle.com/articles/69310-10-april-fools-day-pranks-for-the-office-that-probably-wont-cost-you-your-job) **10.** Rubber band your co-worker’s phone. Then, obviously, start calling your coworker's office number incessantly once they arrive at their desk. - [Bustle](https://www.bustle.com/articles/69310-10-april-fools-day-pranks-for-the-office-that-probably-wont-cost-you-your-job) With over 12 years in the business, [Quikstone Capital Solutions](https://www.quikstonecapital.com/) has proven to be a trustworthy and knowledgeable lender specializing in small business funding.
