juvenile prank
Kid's harmless hijinks
A juvenile prank is a mischievous act associated with young people—harmless troublemaking like toilet-papering a house, ringing doorbells and running away, or hiding someone's belongings.
The phrase often appears when adults minimize or excuse such behavior: The judge dismissed the vandalism as a juvenile prank.
