How about short sheeting their beds? Color the milk with food color? A story of aliens landing on the White House lawn?

The initial question is not what joke would be appropriate but what would be an appropriate joke. Having never met you or your kids I couldn't begin to understand their different personalities or senses of humor. Ask yourself would they find an emotional jibe funny? Say the faked death or illness of a pet or loved one? Perhaps something material would get their goat, i.e. a broken game console or false robbery. I know that you specified not messy, so maybe you could check with your significant other and have the hot water turned off for the morning showers. Another classic is to secretly set the clocks ahead so they are up and ready well before what would normally be necessary. If you plan to take time perhaps a pre-recorded video playing when they return home from school or some other outing. Have an official of some sort interrogate your children on the possibility of their involvement in a crime. Or you could just sell them to gypsies or a tribe of Iroquois Indians, nothing spells funny like abandonment issues later in life. Whatever trust shattering experience you intend to perpetrate on your offspring I am certain you will pull it off in grand style.

Since April Fool's Day is a Sunday this year, could you wake them up and tell them they are late for school, rush them around until they are ready and then tell them it is Sunday? It's not foolproof because they may realize it's Sunday, but most kids I know are pretty groggy in the morning and, if they are rushed because they woke up late, won't realize what day it really is for awhile.

If you have a kitchen sink with a hose attachment, put a rubber band around the trigger, and aim it towards where they would stand when they turn the water on. When they turn the sink on the hose sprayer thing will spray them with water.
I do this to my mother every year.
