This might not be the best year to go trick-or-treating, but that doesn't mean you have to stay home and hide.
This might be the year to start booing your neighbors. It's fun. You sneak up to their house, then leave a treat and a note that says they have been "Booed!" They hang a sign on their own door admitting to same. Then they have to go boo a couple of other people in the neighborhood.
This often leads to retribution and hilarity, and the kids love it. It's also a socially distant way to exchange treats for Halloween.
Also, did I mention that it's fun!?

It comes with cards to go with your treats, printed directions on this boo tradition, a sign to hang on the door you are booing, and a sign for them to hang announcing they have been booed.
It's a complete boo trick kit. Just add treats.
Ghosts that go boo at your neighbors.
Prefer to have your booing done by ghosts? This complete boo set has everything you need and a ghost, too. The card (with envelope) explains what's happening. The door card announces that you have been there. And a matching bag holds your treats.
Be prepared to listen to your kids making ghost noises for the rest of the day after your boo outing!
Snakes make for a creepy gift.
Whatever else you put in your boo bag, add some snakes. They are slithery and scary and will add an element of creepy Halloween to even the most enjoyable candy delight. They also make great Halloween decorations, so your recipient can put them to good use.
The kids will love these creepy dead fingers.
Put these creepy fingers in your boo box so the kids can run around scaring one another — and the pets — by pointing icky, dead-looking monster, zombie, and skeleton fingers at one another.
They fit right over a finger, so you can point while making a point. A great add to a costume, too.
There are 16 in a package.
Skeleton pens make studying spooky.
If you boo most of the neighborhood and add a skeleton hand pen to every treat bag, you will certainly see these pens in your Zoom or real-life classrooms all year. How fun is that? They're useful and they're creepy.
