Simple Boo Your Neighbors Halloween Activity

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 additional sheets, 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!

Do you need ideas for what to include in your boo bag?

Sack or tote you can decorate
Candy
Little trinkets
Glow sticks
Stickers
Scary fake spider rings
Homemade Slime or Silly Putty
Tattoos
Halloween crafts
Snacks like popcorn, Goldfish, granola bars, or fruit snacks

The options are endless for what to include. Make sure you include enough for each child in the family that you are gifting the bag to! If you have extra supplies, you can put them in your trick or treat bucket for trick or treaters who might need a non-candy option. Don’t forget to tuck in the directions as well. You can get them by signing up here.

How About An Adult Boo Basket?

Have a few adult neighbors who could use a little cheer? Add an adult beverage, a cute fall decor item and add a fall recipe with the ingredients in a tote. You are never too old to get boo-ed!

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. Leave a comment and let me know if you do this tradition in your neighborhood. I promise you it’s so fun, it’s frightening.
