Every year our neighborhood has a Halloween Tradition....It's fun and we see how far it will travel.
I prepare goodie bags filled with Halloween treats and the "Boo'd"poem. I send my children out to pick a couple neighbors. They leave the goodie bags on the front door, ring the bell and run..... Then those neighbors are suppose to follow the directions in the poem.... My children love this !!
The cute part is that a little girl down the street asked my daughter when she was going to start the treat bags this year....Shhhhhh, it's suppose to be a secret.
I have included the "Boo'd" poem and instructions for you in case you want to join in the Spirit of Halloween !!
A friendly ghost has come your way
To wish for you a wonderful day.
He left a small gift and something sweet
Never heard him come cause he's light on his feet.
You must be light on your feet too,
Cause this is what you have to do:
Choose two friends, and choose them well.
Now this is a secret, you musn't tell.
Copy this poem, and the sign twice,
If you do it by hand, make sure it looks nice.
Take a couple of gift bags down from the shelf,
Or a plain paper bag, you can design yourself.
Fill them with sweets, and a gift of your choice.
Leave em' on your friends porch,
without any noise.
Hang this sign on your door, for all ghosts to see.
They'll know you've been "BOO-D",
and will leave you be.
This is only a game, to have a little fun,
Let's see how far it goes, before the month's done.
Now you have 24 hrs. to visit your friends.
Please don't be the cause of our games early end.
Happy Haunting!
Directions:
Make a couple goodie bags filled with Halloween treats. Copy the above poem and include it with your goodie bag(s). Make a drawing of a ghost and attach that to the goodie bag(s). Pick a couple of neighbors that you think will continue this fun Halloween activity...Wait until it's dark outside, place the bag at the front door, ring the bell and run !! Or you can do what I do... have your kids do it !!
