How to Ding Dong Ditch

Ashton Kutcher has brought back that old prank called Ding Dong Ditch that you might have played as a kid at least once. You have also seen a crow do it on a Windex commercial when they ring the bell and then fly away. There are a lot of variations to this game depending depending on what part of the U.S. you come from and I have explained some of them for you, so you can decide which one you would like to do. When is the last time that you have pranked someone?

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• One doorbell

1. The most common way to play this prank is to go up to a door and ring the door bell, then run away and hide in a place so you can watch the person come to the door and open it and look for who rang the door bell. You will need to plan out a place to hide so that you have the best vantage point.

2. Another variation of this game is called 3 Step and is played with two people. The one that is ringing the doorbell is NOT blindfolded. They lead the other blindfolded person to the door and ring the doorbell. While running away they take the blindfold off their partner. The three steps come in when the now unblindfolded partner can only take 3 steps to get away.

3. Rock the Doorbell is when you keep ringing the doorbell till someone answers then you run away.

4. In Ding Dong Flash you need a flashlight. Ring the doorbell and when they answer it, shine the flashlight in their eyes and then run away. Obviously it is best played at night.

5. Ding Dong Note you write a note, leave it on the doorstep and ring the doorbell. When they answer the door and read the note and go back inside, you write another note and do it again. It's fun when you ask questions of the person.

6. Ding Dong Forever is where you put a piece of tape on the doorbell so it keeps ringing and run away and hide.

7. Lastly, Ding Dong Drive is simple having one person ring the doorbell and then run back to the car and wait till the door bell is answered and then you drive away.
