Two great expressions with playing
1. Playing a
joke/trick on someone.
This means doing something to fool a person.
examples

backwards.

Because they were twins, Maria and Antonella tried to play
tricks on their teachers.
2. Playing a prank on
someone.
This also means to trick someone, but this also includes
physical humour like unscrewing the lid of the salt shaker, exchanging salt for
sugar.
examples
Martha played a prank on her brother. She pretended to be a secret admirer on
Facebook.
April first is the best day to play pranks on people.
note: sometimes
pranks are called practical jokes.
