Phantom Ghost Letter Surprise
Tina explains how to make a simple halloween treat for someone special. A nice Halloween surprise!


Materials Needed:
  • Letter Below
  • Bag of Treats
  • Ghost Signs
Instructions:

This is a fun surprise gift that is left on someone's door without them knowing who left it! (Sort of like a May Day basket.) Print out the letter below or make up your own, gather a bag of treats, and make a little sign with a ghost on it. Then put them all in a little treat bag or basket and leave them on someone's front steps - don't let them see you!

Print out and include this letter:

The Phantom Ghost has come to town,
To leave you some goodies, I see you have found.
If you do not wish a curse to fall,
Continue this greeting, this Phantom's call.

First, post this Phantom where it can be seen,
And leave it there until Halloween.
This will scare other Phantoms who may visit.
Be sure to participate, you don't want to miss it!

Second, make two treats & two copies of this Ghost with a grin
Deliver them to two neighbors where this Phantom hasn't been
Don't let them see you, be sneaky, no doubt …
And make sure they put their Phantom Ghost out!

Next, you have only one day to act, so be quick!
Leave it at doors where the Phantom hasn't hit.
Deliver at dark when there isn't much light...
Ring the doorbell and run, and stay out of sight!!

And last, but not least, come join in the season.
Don't worry, be happy, you need no good reason.
This is all in good fun and we are just trying to say...
HAPPY HALLOWEEN AND HAVE A GREAT DAY
