You've Been Boo'ed! Freebie

"You've Been Boo'ed" is probably known for it's fun way of sharing treats and Halloween cheer with neighbors and friends. It's a great activity that becomes contagious because so many love joining in on all the fun. At my campus several years ago we modified "You've Been Boo'ed" to apply to our staff members. Instead of leaving treats at each others classroom doors, we actually just placed them in teacher boxes and waited  to see everyone discover the goodies! This was really easy because our mailboxes were in a separate room so we could easily sneak in and out without being discovered. I still have my Halloween gifts that were given to me and it was nice to see how quickly it caught on. By the time Halloween arrived, every staff member had received a nice little treat. Since, it's October (already!) I thought it would be great to make a few of the signs and share out so you could enjoy the fun as well. I revised the poem a little to fit nicely with the campus setting. If you haven't ever been "Boo'ed" before, I hope you consider starting the tradition this year. Just start off by leaving a bag of treats at two classroom doors and sit back and watch the Halloween cheer! I always like to check out Pinterest for some great ideas.

 This site has SO many cute resources to choose from such as flashcards, templates, PowerPoints, and interactive games. You will need to setup an account to download the resources but it's FREE so no worries there. I always like to visit this site for interactive games to use on the whiteboard...they do have tons. For the primary grades, the Egg Patchwork activity is a fun one to try out.

Primary Games also has a complete list of Easter and Spring games students could play during center or computer time. Some of them are purely just for fun so I would recommend showing them the games that focus more on a concept.
