April Fools' Day Fast Facts
April’s Fools Day also known as All Fools' Day, is celebrated every year on April 1st.
History:
Some historians believe the April Fools' customs began in France, although no one
knows for sure.
It may stem from a calendar change in 16th century France -- the moving of New
Year's Day from April 1 to January 1 when the Gregorian calendar was adopted.
People who continued to celebrate New Year Day on April 1st rather than the new
date of January 1st were referred to as "April fools" and others played tricks on them.
Around the World:
In France, April 1st is called "Poisson d'Avril."
French children fool their friends by taping a paper fish to their friends' backs.
When the "young fool" discovers this trick, the prankster yells "Poisson d'Avril!"
In Scotland, April Fools' lasts two days. Victims of pranks are called gowks (cuckoo
birds). The second day is known as Taily Day, and pranks involving the backside are
played. Supposedly, it is the origin of "kick me" signs.
