The children, Scout, Jem, and Dill, have been acting out their ideas about the Radleys in much the same way they had previously acted out stories they had read. This shows that they view the family as just a part of their fictional games. They don't see the Radleys as real people and they don't realize that their game may be hurtful to real humans behind the Radley windows. Atticus catches them and orders them to "stop tormenting that man", concerning both the notes or the "Boo Radley" game. As an adult, Atticus can see the real hurt that the game may be causing. In a quiet way, he reminds the children that "What Mr. Radley does is his own business." So Atticus has taught the children as lesson about respecting other people. This foreshadows the lesson he will try to to teach the town of of Maycomb by defending Tom Robinson. Most people today would agree that Atticus was right.

Atticus tells the children that it's not right to make a game out of someone else's life, as it's disrespectful and unkind. He believes it's important to consider things from Boo Radley's perspective and show empathy towards others. I believe Atticus is right in advising them not to play the game, as it encourages a lack of understanding and compassion for someone who is simply misunderstood.

because he thinks it is cruel because hey dont know really
Reasons does Atticus give for the children not to play the Boo Radley game?
Atticus Finch Doesnt like the Kids playing the violent gruesome
game
because it's not nice to make first impressions, especially if they are bad impressions. Yeah I think he's right!
he doesnt like it
Atticus tells Jem that it's a sin to kill a mockingbird because they don't harm or cause any trouble, only sing beautiful songs. He wants Jem to understand the value of innocence and purity in the world.
To Kill A Mockingbird (you have heard of Google, right?)
Atticus and Tate are arguing about how Bob Ewell died. Atticus is convinced the Jem stabbed Ewell as he tried to protect Scout from attack. At the same time, Heck knows that Bob did not die because of Jem, but Boo Radley. He also knows that if Boo Radley were trialed for murder he would be discriminated against and would be a traumatic and painful experience. So, Tate tells Atticus that Bob Ewell had fallen on his knife while in a drunk stupor. Though Atticus does not agree, Scout is convinced that Tate is correct, telling Atticus that sending Boo Radley to trial would be "sort of like shootin' a mocking-bird.
Jem and Scout end up standing in front of the Radley house during the fire because they were watching the fire from a safe distance and didn't notice Scout's blanket being placed over her shoulders. They were later rescued by Boo Radley in the chaos.
After Atticus understands that Boo Radley, not Jem, killed Bob Ewell, Mr. Tate tells him that he intends to say Bob Ewell fell on his knife to spare Boo from becoming a town celebrity. Scout assures Atticus that Mr. Tate is right by saying that letting Boo become the center of attention of the town would be like shooting a mockingbird.
Jem was anxious to get his pants back because he didn't want Atticus to know that they had been torn while he was trespassing on the Radley property. Jem feared disappointing his father and facing potential consequences for disobeying him.
Atticus is concerned about the children playing the new game because it involves reenacting the racism and prejudice they witness in their community. He believes it is harmful for them to participate in such activities and tries to teach them about empathy and understanding instead.
Atticus shows compassion and understanding towards the Radley family, respecting their privacy and decisions. He sees Boo as a person deserving of kindness and empathy, while many in the town view them with fear and prejudice. Atticus's attitude is one of acceptance and non-judgment, contrasting with the town's tendency to gossip and sensationalize the Radleys' story.
Atticus tells Scout that the Radleys have a right to privacy and should be left alone, as invading their privacy would be a violation of their personal boundaries. He emphasizes the importance of respecting their privacy and not gossiping or spreading rumors about them.
Jem is responsible for them getting stuck as he was in a hurry to get away from Mr. Nathan Radley and his shotgun. Nathan Radley scared Jem, so he inadvertantly got his trousers stuck in the fence. But Boo Radley (he comes out of the house only at night, remember) is the person most likely to have sewn up Jem's trousers. In the book it says Nathan Radley was an awful sewer, and also that Mrs. Radley wouldn't have cared. Basically, it is supposed to be obvious that Boo Radley fixed Jem's pants.
Atticus doesn't seem upset, but rather happy that Bob Ewell challenged him. Atticus said that it was better that Mr. Ewell took out his anger on Atticus. If not he would take out his anger on one of his children, which Atticus didn't want.
In the end of the book when Scout is talking to her father Atticus, she says that Heck Tate is right and that it would be like killing a Mockingbird. She is also at peace when she walks on Boo Radley's front porch and she said that was enough for her.
