Halloween Safety Tips for Trick-or-Treating

Halloween is a fun time for kids, but it's important to stay safe while trick-or-treating. Here are some tips to keep in mind:

  1. Choose a Safe Area: Stick to familiar neighborhoods when trick-or-treating.

  2. Be Bright: Wear costumes with bright colors or reflective tape to be seen.

  3. Walk Carefully: Always walk, don’t run. Look out for cars and other hazards.

  4. Stick Together: Go with friends or family. Never go out alone.

  5. Use Sidewalks: Walk on the sidewalk if there is one. If not, walk facing the cars.

  6. Check Your Costume: Make sure your costume is the right size. Avoid anything that can trip you.

  7. Inspect Your Candy: Check your treats before eating. Discard anything that is open or looks strange.

  8. Respect Homes: Only visit houses with lights on. It’s polite to say "thank you" for candy.

  9. Know Your Curfew: Have a set time to come home. Make sure your parents know when you’ll be back.

  10. Trust Your Feelings: If something feels wrong, go home. Always trust your instincts.

Have a fun and safe Halloween!
