In France, Italy, Belgium, and French-speaking areas of Switzerland and Canada, it’s called “Poisson d’Avril”, which literally means “April’s fish” because kids celebrate this day by sticking fish made of paper  to each other’s backs. When someone discovers the fish, the person who put it there, aka the prankster, shouts “Poisson d’Avril.”

In Canada and England, it’s celebrated during the morning time of April 1. If someone keeps doing it after midday is considered the fool themselves.

In Norway, Denmark and Sweden, the day is celebrated on a country level. Medias may publish one false story, which, for newspapers, will be a front page article but not the top headline.
