It’s that spooky time of year again when Halloween is fast approaching and the air is filled with excitement! If you’re like me, then you love getting in on all the fun by decorating the house and even more so, the tricks and treats. One of my favorite Halloween traditions is the “You’ve Been Booed” game. It’s such a fun way to spread a little Halloween cheer and surprise your friends and neighbors with a little treat.
What is “You’ve Been Booed”?
For those of you who are not familiar with the game, “You’ve Been Booed” is a Halloween game where you secretly leave a basket of treats on your neighbor’s doorstep, along with a note that says they’ve been “booed.” The note will usually include instructions for them to pass it on to someone else by also leaving a basket of treats and the same note on another neighbor’s doorstep. It’s a fun way to spread some Halloween cheer and surprise your friends and neighbors with a little treat.
How to Get Started
Getting started with “You’ve Been Booed” is super easy and fun! Here’s all you need to do:
- Print out the “You’ve Been Booed” signs from the internet
- Make two copies of the sign
- Put together a basket of Halloween goodies
- Place one sign and the basket on a neighbor’s doorstep
- Place the other sign on your own doorstep to let others know they have already been “booed”
- Watch the fun begin!
