Booing your neighbors has been my favorite Halloween tradition in my neighborhood during the month of October for as long as I can remember.

Here’s how you can too. Keep reading to learn more.

How to play You’ve Been Boo’ed

If this is is your first time playing this fun Halloween game, don’t worry. It’s super easy. Around October 1st, you’ll want to fill a gift basket or boo bags with a bunch of fun Halloween treats and goodies (see below for ideas). Next, attach a “Boo” gift tag to the basket. Then, include the printed instruction page (see below) and window sign in the basket. Finally, leave the basket on the porch of the person or neighbor you are booing and then ring the door and run. Make sure they don’t see you spreading Halloween cheer.

We've been booed sign — *Don’t forget to hang your sign on your front door once you’ve been boo’ed*

Once your neighbor discovers their surprise, they simply make copies of the pages that you included in the basket. They will hang their “We’ve been boo’ed” sign in their front window and then repeat the process with another neighbor. Hopefully, by the time Halloween arrives, everyone in your entire neighborhood will have been “boo’ed.”

Here’s the fun poem that is included with the instructions:
