What is You’ve Been Elfed and How do You Play?
You may have been “Booed” at Halloween – we have! This is a fun tradition in which kids leave a bag of treats with a note explaining that the recipient has been “booed” and should play it forward by booing others.
You’ve Been Elfed is the Christmastime version of this fun prank. It’s a great example of Random Acts of Kindness. Kids especially delight in this wholesome form of ding-dong-ditch.
To be an extra sneaky elf, you can dress up in your best Christmas sweater and elf hat.
To play along, make a gift bag, box, or basket filled with goodies. Attach our You’ve Been Elfed printable and you’re ready to play!
