Introduction: Fan Blade Fun
This is a practical joke that can be played in summer.
If I get good feedback from this joke I might put up others.
Step 1: What You Need
What you need.
Electric ceiling fan.
Chair or step ladder.
Either rice or
confetti or
small cups of water or
flour or
birdseed.
Step 2: The Set Up.
On a hot summers day get a chair or step ladder and stick some confetti (other suggestions in step 1) up on top of the fan blades of the ceiling fan.
Step 3: The Fun Part.
If you are in a classroom say to the teacher that it is really hot in hear and if you could have the fan on. Then all the stuff that you put up there will rain down when the fan speeds up! If you have done everything correctly it should waste about 10-20 minutes. HOORAY!

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.

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....

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.
