In Ukraine, as in many other places, the tradition involves playing pranks or telling jokes with the intention of bringing laughter and amusement. The social acceptance of harmless deception on this day creates a light-hearted atmosphere where people can engage in jest without repercussion.

  • Practical Jokes: Individuals may play pranks on friends, family members, and colleagues. These can range from simple tricks to more elaborate deceptions.
