If you have ever thought, "Hey I think it would be really fun to make 30 3rd grades have a crazy, bouncy, non-productive day", the following steps will make your dream come true.
1: Drastically change the weather. Pick a day where it starts out with snow and cold (perhaps it snowed that very morning) and by 10:15 it is pushing 50 degrees with promises to reach 65.
2: The day will need to be either the day before a "holiday" or the day of. (Really anything the kids are looking forward too will work)
3: Have a fire drill
4: Have a girl punch a boy twice in the nose, causing him to gush blood.
5: As the story of the punch comes out, it must involve 5-6 students "playing" (i.e. holding said girl down and rolling a giant snow ball over her).
6: Said girl must decide she doesn't want to "play" only after the snowball has been rolled on her.
7: When said boy is punched the first time he must retaliate by pushing said girl.
8: Said girl then punches said boy for the second time causing a bloody nose.
9: Have a spelling pre-test, and a math test back to back.
10: As the adult, insure that you start the day with little patience and tired (i.e. a headache, and 4-5 hours of sleep, after working until 12:30 the night before.)
You now have a way to cause craziness! It has already been through a trial run so I guarantee 100% success.

Oh. Oh dear. Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. I am calling you.
I totally get it. Today and yesterday were those kinds of days. Like the parent who emails me about his daughter getting choked (the kids swears it was an accident) by another kid. Today when I watched them, she was totally chasing the kid. Sigh.
Or have a sub and then come in in the middle of the day and decide, what the 'hey' I'm not doing social studies or much of anything.... they are wired.
Then find out your grades are due TOMORROW instead of next week.
UGH. When IS spring break anyway?
