Boo Radley does not show himself in full form to anyone which leaves all the children of Maycomb County, including Scout, Jem, and Dill, to create stories about him. They have heard stories passed on from their families and neighbors and friends that Boo is insane but he is actually one of the "Mockingbirds" in the story of which the town's evil changed is appearance to the town. (evil as in mockery and teasing and gossiping)
Dill, Scout, and Jem frequently like to play the "Boo Radley" game, where they reenact stories and legends about their reclusive neighbor, Boo Radley.

Boo Radley's life
Charles Baker Harris (Dill), who visits his aunt Rachel every summer in Maycomb came up with the idea of getting Boo Radley out of his house. Scout, Dill, and Jem try to do this with several different strategies.
It was basically--- Jem Scout and Dill acted out scenes of Boo Radley myths. Like the stabbing scene in which they believe that Boo Radley had stabbed his dad in the leg with a pair of scissors.
When Scout rolls into the Radley yard inside the tire, she inadvertently gets close to the Radley house and Boo Radley sees her. This incident is important because it marks the beginning of Boo Radley's subtle interactions with the children and adds to the mystery and intrigue surrounding his character. It also highlights how Scout, Jem, and Dill are curious about Boo and show their fearlessness by trying to unravel the mystery surrounding him.
