One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was goin to take my little nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old burned-down warehouse. "Oh, no" I said, "Disneyland burned down." He cried and cried, but I think that deep down he thought it was a pretty good joke. I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was getting pretty late.
