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:
-
Choose a Safe Area: Stick to familiar neighborhoods when trick-or-treating.
-
Be Bright: Wear costumes with bright colors or reflective tape to be seen.
-
Walk Carefully: Always walk, don’t run. Look out for cars and other hazards.
-
Stick Together: Go with friends or family. Never go out alone.
-
Use Sidewalks: Walk on the sidewalk if there is one. If not, walk facing the cars.
-
Check Your Costume: Make sure your costume is the right size. Avoid anything that can trip you.
-
Inspect Your Candy: Check your treats before eating. Discard anything that is open or looks strange.
-
Respect Homes: Only visit houses with lights on. It’s polite to say "thank you" for candy.
-
Know Your Curfew: Have a set time to come home. Make sure your parents know when you’ll be back.
-
Trust Your Feelings: If something feels wrong, go home. Always trust your instincts.
Have a fun and safe Halloween!
