Simple Boo Your Neighbors Halloween Activity

boo your neighbors activity ideas
It’s almost time for Halloween and who doesn’t love an excuse to ding dong ditch?  If you live in the midwest, you might be familiar with May Day.   This activity is similar and a great way to create community in your neighborhood and spread a little joy this Halloween season.
 
 
 

Boo Your Neighbors Halloween Activity Directions

 
To start, all you need to do is assemble some special treats in a bag, lunch sack, or plastic tote.  Then, print off the Boo Your Neighbor Printable by signing up here.  Print 2 copies of the printable and then choose 2 neighbors or friends to “boo”.  If you are feeling extra festive, you can boo even more people!
 
You will want to wear your running shoes because you will drop the treat bag on their door step, ring the bell and run.  You might want to check and make sure they are home first because it’s most fun if they find it while you are dashing away.
 
Once, you deliver the boo treats, the recipient should copy 2 Boo Your Neighbors PDF Printables, hang the “we’ve been boo-ed” sign on their door and then boo 2 more people.  Hopefully, everyone will be boo-ed in time for Halloween!

Fun Things and Great Ideas to Include in Your Boo Basket

We like to grab our fun items and small toys at places like Target Dollar Spot, Walmart, Dollar Tree, local dollar stores, or Party City. They always have a good selection of different things and all sorts of fun little treats to include in your boo-basket. The options are endless for what to include in this fun tradition. 

Ensure you include enough for each child in the family to whom you gift the bag!  The best part is you include young kids, children with food allergies, and even older neighbors in this fun activity. Just don’t forget to tuck in the free printable sign in your boo bag. You can get them right here.

Get ready to have some Halloween fun with your family. Dropping a basket of Halloween goodies on our neighbors’ porches has become one of our favorite October traditions.

How About An Adult Boo Basket?

This isn’t just fun for little kids. It’s for the entire neighborhood. Do you have a few adult neighbors who could use a little cheer? Add an adult beverage, a bottle of wine, a cute fall decor item, and a fall recipe with the ingredients in a tote. You are never too old to get booed! These 3-ingredient pumpkin muffins are one of my favorite things to include. The whole neighborhood can be part of the fun, and the nostalgia of the doorbell ditch is fun for young and old alike.

Are you ready for some serious fun?

Remember, it’s all about having fun. It’s so fun to both boo and get boo-ed. When you hear that doorbell, you better dash and see if you can find who “boo-ed” you and left that goodie basket on your porch.  Leave a comment and let me know if you do this tradition in your neighborhood. I promise you it’s an easy way for some real fun. Once you do it for the first time, you will add this fun halloween activity to your yearly halloween activities.

Happy Halloween!  Now, go boo your neighbors!
