Family-Friendly Halloween Idea: Start the BOO Tradition in Your Neighbourhood
It's Time to Start Boo-ing Your Friends & Neighbours!
Halloween is all about a little bit of spooky fun, and the BOO tradition is the sweetest way to spread it around the neighbourhood. If you’ve ever found a surprise bag of treats on your doorstep with a note that says “You’ve Been BOO’d!”, you already know how fun it is.
This simple tradition is a great way to get families, kids, and neighbours smiling (and maybe running a little bit).
What is BOO-ing?
BOO-ing is a friendly Halloween surprise that’s been popping up in communities for years. It’s like a chain reaction of kindness; you drop off a treat bag for someone, and then they “BOO” someone else. Before long, the whole neighbourhood is part of the fun.
How to BOO Your Friends and Neighbours
Here’s how to get started:
Gather your goodies. Candy, pencils, stickers, or small Halloween trinkets work great.
Bag it up. Pick up a cute Halloween bag or container from one of the local dollar stores.
Add your BOO signs. Download and print the free “You’ve Been BOO’d” printable.
Pick your targets. Choose a few friends, classmates, or neighbours.
Drop and dash! Leave your treats on their doorstep, ring the bell, and run!
Before long, you’ll start spotting “We’ve Been BOO’d” signs around your street, proof that the Halloween spirit is alive and well in Chestermere!
