Welcome to the newest set of You've Been Booed! printables. This time around, I've got a brand new (and fully customizable) printable set I think you guys are going to love!
I love making these fun holiday printables for every season - Halloween is no different. Just like my cute Halloween gift tags, these are free and perfect for celebrating spooky season!
What is the You've Been Booed game?
This is a fun way to treat your neighbors at Halloween. Early October the perfect time to start playing!
The idea is simple: deliver a treat basket to 2 of your neighbors (anonymously) and include the poem sign that you can download in this post. They'll pass on treats to 2 more neighbors, those neighbors will pass on treats, and so on and so forth until the whole neighborhood gets a surprise.
Once a house has been booed, they hang a "We've Been Booed" sign on their front door to let other neighbors know they've already gotten their treats. Before you know it, your whole neighborhood will have a little bit of Halloween cheer!
Printing Instructions
- Click the buttons below to open your file in a new tab.
- For PDFs: Click the printer icon to send directly to your printer, or the downward arrow to download the file to your device.
- For Canva Templates: Click the button at the bottom that says "Use the template for a new design." This creates your own editable copy in your Canva account.
- Customize the Canva template (optional). You can change colors, graphics, and fonts as you wish. Not a Canva user? Don't worry - I've included ready-to-print PDFs for those designs too.
- Print the pages on standard 8.5x11" printer paper. A home inkjet printer works fine (this is the one I use!). For extra durability, use cardstock.
- Cut the pages apart. I recommend a straight-edge paper cutter for crisp, clean lines.
- Include the QR code snippet. Each page has a small section you can trim off and tuck into your boo bucket so neighbors can scan and find these printables to keep the fun going.
