The closest point in time that can be identified as the beginning of this tradition was in 1582, in France. The celebration began to be celebrated on April 1. April Fools Day is simply a fun little holiday, but a holiday on which one must be very careful because they may be the next April Fool.

An exampe of a great party game for April Fools Day can be Memory Game:
On a tray, place about 10 to 15 small items (e.g. pencil, watch, comb, shoe lace, spoon, toy car, etc.) and cover with a cloth. Sit everyone in a circle.
Place the tray in the middle of the circle and remove the cloth for 60 seconds. Everyone has to remember the objects. When the time is up, replace the cloth.
In turn, each person has to name an object on the tray. The first person to fail to name an object, repeat an object or name something not on the tray is out. The tray is then removed and some or all of the objects replaced, and the game re-started with the person following the one who is out. If the game is too easy for the group, add more objects or reduce the time.
