What are the traditional activities on April Fool's Day?
The most typical activity of April Fool's Day is that everyone plays jokes on each other and plays tricks on each other with lies. Some people tie their wallets to the street with a thin thread and pull the other end in the dark. Once someone finds a wallet, they will suddenly drag it away. Others put bricks under the broken hat in the middle of the road, waiting to see who will kick them. Children will tell their parents that there is a hole in their schoolbags or a black spot on their faces. When adults bend over to see it, they will shout "Happy April Fool's Day". Run away with a smile.

One-day fish feast. It is also unique. Invitations to fish banquets are usually colored fish made of cardboard. The dining table is decorated in green and white. There is a fish tank and a small fishing rod in the middle. Each fishing rod is tied with a green ribbon and hung with a gift for the guests, a delicate celluloid fish or a fish basket full of candy. It goes without saying that all the dishes at the fish feast are made of fish.
There is also the custom of cooking fake dishes at April Fool's Day parties.

After dinner, guests can also take candy out of the pill box.
Taboo of April Fool's Day
1, April fool is taboo in time.
No matter who it is, April Fool's jokes can only be played until noon 12, which is a strict rule by convention. A person who has fun after noon is a bigger fool than the person he makes fun of. People who joke after midnight will immediately find themselves in trouble.
In fact, from the perspective of traditional geomantic omen in China, you can't play pranks at three o'clock in the afternoon, so it's no exaggeration to do it before three o'clock in the afternoon.
If a friend ignores the taboo of time on April Fool's Day and goes his own way regardless, then I believe his or her fortune will plummet thereafter. Friends must be cautious, first of all, we must grasp the time and never play too much.
