You’ve Been Boo’d
You’ve Been Boo’d
Get everyone in a spooky spirit and start a new tradition this Halloween season! In the weeks prior to Halloween, you and your family can secretly leave goodie-filled bags on your neighbor’s doorstep, with a special poem encouraging them to continue the fun!
Prep time: 10 min.
Difficulty: Easy
What you'll need:
  • 2 bags of your favorite Mars FUN SIZE® candies, such as M&M’S® Brand Milk Chocolate Candies FUN SIZE®, MILKY WAY® Brand FUN SIZE®, STARBURST® Brand Original Fruit Chews FUN SIZE® and SKITTLES® Brand Original Bite Size Candies FUN SIZE®
  • Printed copy of "You’ve Been Boo’d" Poem, which includes instructions and an "I’ve Been Boo’d" sign
  • Decorative basket or paper bag
What to do:
  1. Create neighborhood spirit this Halloween! During the weeks before the holiday, begin the fun by selecting a neighbor to "Boo".
  2. Help your kids fill a decorative basket—or let them decorate their own paper bag—with an assortment of Mars FUN SIZE® Candies.
  3. Click here to print out the "You’ve Been Boo’d" poem, directions to let your neighbors know how to spread the "ghosting" fun, and an "I’ve Been Boo’d" sign for your neighbor to show that they’ve been boo’d. Roll up the printout and tie it up like a scroll. Add the scroll to the ghosting basket.
  4. Have your kids place the basket on your neighbor’s doorstep. Ring the doorbell and leave them to discover their spooky surprise.
  5. Now it’s your neighbors’ turn to continue the trend and place a basket on another neighbors’ doorstep. Watch as the fun spreads around the block!
