[michaelb958]

[stephenniall]

[JakeTobak]

I don't remember having ceiling fans in the classroom, and if I did, I don't remember when I could have set it up without being caught.

[beehard44]

better use the aircon, we had those wall mounted types, we would shred very tiny tiny mega tiny pieces paper and pour it in there when it is closed. Start of the class when they would turn it on and all pieces fly out....

[bumpus]

our classrooms dont have ceiling fans, but they do have AC along on wall of the room, and we put like flour (home-ec),or shredded paper in the top when they turn on it goes shootin everywhere fun fun

in 7th grade, my friends and i poured a half gallon of elmers glue down the ac vent, along with pens, pencils, lead, thumbtacks, etc. almost every thing possible. our school also gave out rights and responsibility cd, we broke them and a couple windows in the gym at lunch. we also broke several celling tiles and lights. those were the day without ritilin, or adhd meds..... boy that was fun

[tanmanknex]

did it clog it?

[bumpus]

amen

Another fun thing to put on top of the fan blades are little plastic spiders. We did this to my sister who is deathly afraid of them. Definitely fun to see a 30 year old grown woman screaming and rolling on the floor.

[o.....m......g.....lol!]

lol wasn`t this prank in some kids book...dangit cant remember name =/

[tomfoolery]

Yeah, Captain Underpants! I forgot about him... Great Instuctable, This would be even more super funny if you put an atomiser sysem on the fan. Then when the fan speeds up, it rains!

[dhruvgaara]

[toogers]

if your a nerf fan, put a bunch of nerf darts on the fan blades, and when your nerfer friends are over tun on the fan.

Thinking about a "rain of terror" using maple seeds on top of the fan blades.

[malmborg]

I can recall stuffing the little circles of paper you get from hole punchers in an airconditioning vent in my Spanish class in junior high during early spring. A friend and I did it for about 3 weeks straight. When it finally got warm enough to turn on the AC, the class was showered in little paper snowflakes. Unfortunately, it wasn't my class, I had to hear about it from a friend.
