While Prince Harry may not have perfected his rapping skills just yet, he definitely knows how to kick it with the kids.

On a recent trip to visit students at Nottingham Academy in England, he participated in a variety of cool classroom activities, spoke at a graduation ceremony and got schooled on how to spit rhymes by a smooth, mic-dropping young rapper.

Prince Harry makes regular trips to schools to engage and support students and enhance education programs.

Clearly the kids in Nottingham were pretty psyched the 32-year-old had stopped by, because they graciously let him pop into their classes and attempt to play some practical jokes.

A few of the Nottingham students put on an impressively memorable rap performance for Prince Harry, telling personal stories through their lyrics and ending with a dramatic paper toss (now the equivalent of a mic drop when your mic can't physically be dropped).

After observing the lyric-writing workshop, which inspired beautifully truthful lines like "I like it when it's nice weather / eating rice makes me feel better," Prince Harry, wishing he had those skills, enjoyed a hearty chuckle.

Before ducking out of the class, he made sure to pound fists with his pals and pose for a few pics. And though he's technically royalty, Prince Harry showed the world he's just like the rest of us by trying (and failing) to pull off the classic shoulder tap prank.

Prince Harry also stopped by to observe a kickboxing class at Nottingham Academy before heading over to the Nottingham Council House to present the latest class of Coach Core apprentices with their graduation certificates.

All in all, it seems as though Prince Harry and the children had a smashing good time.
