This Halloween, instead of a traditional gift for your neighbor or friends…why not bring them some spooky cheer?
It’s easy and inexpensive to buy a few Halloween items or candy, place them in a plastic cauldron decorated and use our free printables to make a cute, last minute You’ve Been Booed gift!
Not only will your neighbors love it, but your kids will love it too!
Have them help you pick out all the pieces, assemble it, and best of all, secretly drop it off and run!
It’s fun for everyone involved! Read on below to get the free printable and read our tips. Also, be sure to check out all of our awesome free printables!

You’ve Been Booed Directions
Download the “You’ve Been Booed” printables. There’s an SVG file for machines or a regular tag you can cut out yourself.
Print and cut out all pages.
Grab a small Halloween bucket and fill it with candy or fun Halloween-themed items.
Attach the You’ve been booed tags to the bucket and gather all the printables to drop off at a neighbors house.
Wait until nightfall to drop off the treats and printables in the traditional ding dong ditch fashion. Ten points extra if you make it to the car without tripping over your neighbors uneven stone pavers.
That’s it!
You’ve done a fun Halloween act of kindness with your kids and now you can go home and celebrate with the family.
We certainly can’t wait for Halloween time to roll around to start this fun activity! Will you be booing any neighbors this year?

So if I'm the last neighbor booed (or booed the evening before Halloween, there's probably a lot of people not booed in my neighborhood), so do I change the holiday? And "boo" the next neighbor? or does it stop because Halloween is over?

You can certainly do whatever you'd like, but we have always done it until Halloween and then stopped. Happy Halloween :)

I went to your freebie page and typed in password. Now how do I get the printable? I tried clicking on the picture, tried right clicking to get save image and none of them worked. Am I doing something wrong?

Hi Judy! Sorry for the problems you've been having. Are you referring to this post specifically (the you've been booed kit) or the freebie library in general? If you want the you've been booed kit all you need to do is click on the purple links on this page and a pdf will show up for you to download. If you want the ones in the library, simply click on the eye icon and the corresponding pdf will load. Let me know if you still run into troubles!
