Here's a look at the activity sheet which you can download HERE:
Since I didn't have time to run to the grocery store to buy carrots (lirpaloofs love carrots, haha!) the kids made carrots out of orange construction paper. It took quite a bit of self-control to not laugh out loud while the kids were waving their carrots up in the air singing "Lirpaloof!" while searching for the elusive bird. After about five minutes of searching, two girls ran to me telling me that they were absolutely certain they had seen the colorful bird flying away. Too funny!
When I finally let the kids in on the prank, we all had a good laugh followed by questions of when I was going to pull the next prank. As I already mentioned, a prankster I am not. However, I'm thinking that this year's April Fools fun has started a new classroom tradition.
