In Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird," Atticus Finch recounts to Scout the incident where Mr. Radley shoots at Jem, Scout, and Dill. He simply states that "Mr. Radley shot at a Negro in his collard patch" without giving much detail or explanation.
We eased in beside Miss Maudie, who looked around. "Where were you all, didn't you hear the commotion?"
"What happened?" asked Jem.
"Mr. Radley shot at a Negro in his collard patch."
"Oh. Did he hit him?"
"No," said Miss Stephanie. "Shot in the air.

Jem and Dill first took Scout into the Radley yard the night before Dill was supposed to leave Maycomb for the schoolyear. However, Lee does state that Scout "rolled into the Radley front yard" earlier in the book when she Jem and Dill were playing with an old tire.
Jem does after Scout and Dill dare him to.

Dill, Jem and Scout act out Boo Radley's childhood.
Dill, Scout, and Jem frequently like to play the "Boo Radley" game, where they reenact stories and legends about their reclusive neighbor, Boo Radley.
From the book: "Why do you reckon Boo Radley's never run off?" Dill sighed a long ligh and turned away from me. "Maybe he doesn't have anywhere to run off to..." Scout: "Why do you reckon Boo Radley never ran off?" Dill: "Maybe he doesn't have anywhere to run off to..."
BOO RADLEY
Dill and Scout quietly oil the gate's hinges with Atticus's oilcan to make it stop squeaking when they enter the Radley Place.
Scout, Jem, and Dill believe in superstitions based on their reactions to the Radley house. For example, when they're playing the Boo Radley game, Scout says, "As I did so, I saw something only a child's heart could convey." This shows their belief in superstitions, as they see the Radley house as a place of mystery and fear.
Boo Radley's life
In "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee, Jem, Scout, and Dill play a game called "Boo Radley." They act out various scenarios and create stories based on the mysterious neighbor, Boo Radley, who they have never seen.
Jem and Dill roll Scout in a tire and it goes out of control, ending up in the Radley yard. Read the book; it's amazing.
