Silly or goofy behavior done by a group of friends or closely associated people.

Such silly or goofy behavior is almost always of a good nature, and involves good, sometimes clean fun.

Said behavior will usually happen when all or most people in said group are either bored, hyper, or overly tired.

It can also be identified as the actions done by said group that come about as a result of the friends in such group "getting high off of each other", a phrase used to describe the feeling of being high when around certain friends for a given amount of time, simply because they are awesome and fun to be around and they always have fun together and their company is very much enjoyed.

Shenanigans is also, but less often, referred to as sneaky, deceptive, or mischievious behavior.
1) What happens at CHS when there is a Drama Co. rehearsal AND a Choir rehearsal on the same evening. The break between the two rehearsals often and almost always consists of shenanigans! :)

2)...
*Peter sitting by himself*
*Several friends approach him*
Kim: Hey, man, there's room over there with the rest of us if you wanna join.
Peter: Yes, I'm aware.
Kim: So you wanna sit by yourself like a loner?
Peter: Yeah, I'm fine, thanks.
*Kim and others return*
Leila: What's wrong with Peter?
Kim: Nothing, he just wants to sit by himself, and not join our super-fun shenanigans that we are having.
*All other than Peter (sad face) commence in having a super-fun time of shenanigans*

3) Playing improve games with Nick (happy face). Such games include "freeze", "bang", "atom", "the party game", "psychic battle", etc.

4) Having a dance party outside of the chorus room.

5) Having (and losing) a crab fight with Leila, resulting in accidentally banging your head against a chair.
