travessura


Explanation:
Se você continuar a ler a descrição de "shenanigan" na Wikipedia, vai encontrar também:
"However, in some regions, shenanigans can merely refer to harmless mischievous play, especially by children."
Ou seja, uma travessura.

Também é a tradução que o Babylon traz para esse termo.
