Welcome to this year's set of You've Been Booed! printables. This time around, I've got a brand new (and customizable) You've Been Booed set I think you guys are going to love!
What is the You've Been Booed game?
This is a fun way to treat your neighbors at Halloween. Today's 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 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
Whether you're just getting this neighborhood tradition started or you're here from the QR code to download the printable signs, you'll print and use these files the same way.
FOR PDF: When you click the buttons below, you'll open a file in a new tab. You can either press the printer icon to send to your printer or the downward-facing arrow to download the pdf to your device.
FOR CANVA TEMPLATE: When you click the button to open the Canva link in a new tab, you'll see a button at the bottom of the page that says "Use the template for a new design." Click that, and you'll have your own editable copy in your canva account!
In the canva template, you can change colors, graphics, and fonts as you wish. (And don't worry, if you're not a Canva user, I have a pdf download for the new designs under those graphics, too.)
All of these pages are formatted to print on standard 8.5x11" printer paper. An at-home printer works just fine - this is the home inkjet printer I use! You might want to print the pages on cardstock to make them extra durable.
I recommend a straight-edge paper cutter to easily cut those apart with nice, crisp lines.
There is a little snippet you can cut from each page that has a QR code that links back to this post. Just pop it in your boo bucket so your neighbors can easily find these printables and keep the fun going!
