Here are some examples of those Pre-Wizarding Wheezes scenes:

-Book 4 Chapter 6 Portkey
"George!" said Mrs. Weasley sharply, and they all jumped.
"What?" said George, in an innocent tone that deceived nobody.
"What's that in your pocket?"
"Nothing!"
"Don't you lie to me!"
Mrs. Weasley pointed her wand at George's pocket and said "Accio!"
Several small, brightly colored objects zoomed out of George's pocket; he made a grab for them but missed, and they sped right into Mrs. Weasley's outstretched hand.  

-Book 4 Chapter 21 The House Elf Liberation Front
Just then, Neville caused a slight diversion by turning into a large canary.
"Oh-sorry, Neville!" Fred shouted over all the laughter. "I forgot - it was the custard creams we hexed-"
Within a minute, however, Neville had molted, and once his feathers had fallen off, he reappeared looking entirely normal. He even joined in the laughing.
"Canart Creams!: Fred shouted to the excitable crowd. "George and I invented them-seven Sickles each, a bargain!"

-Book 5 Chapter 6 The Noble and Most Ancient House of Black
"Fred, what are you doing?" said Mrs. Weasley sharply. "Spray that at once and throw it away!"
Harry looked around. Fred was holding a struggling doxy between his forefinger and thumb.
"Right-o," Fred said brightly, spraying the doxy in the face so that it fainted, but the moment Mrs. Weasley's back was turned be pocketed it with a wink.
"We want to experiment with doxy venom for our Skiving Snack boxes," George told Harry under his breathe.

- Book 5 Chapter 28 Snape's Worst Memory
(Fred and George have set off fireworks they invented in the school to cause trouble to Headmistress Umbridge)
The fireworks continued to burn and to spread all over the school that afternoon. Though they caused plenty of disruption, paticularly the firecrackers, the other teachers did not seem to mind them very much.
"Dear,dear," said Professor McGonangall sardonically, as one of the dragons soared around her classroom, emitting loud bangs and exhaling flame. "Miss Brown, would you mind running along to the headmistress and informing her that we have an escaped firework in our classroom?"

-Book 5 Chapter 30 Gwarp
Meanwhile it became clear just how many Skiving Snackboxes Fred and George had managed to sell before leaving Hogwarts. Umbridge only had to enter her classroom for the students assembled there to faint, vomit, develop high fevers, or else spout blood from both nostrils.
