Halloween Safety Tips For Trick-or-Treating
Plan your trick-or-treating route before you leave and show the kids where you’ll be going
Double-check any costumes with masks to make sure kids can see clearly
Use reflective tape on dark costumes
Carry a flashlight or glow stick
Visit only houses with porch lights on
Make sure all kids know that under NO circumstance should they enter a home
If your child has an identification card (a school ID, etc), make sure to bring it along
Make sure an adult is with anyone under 16 (if older kids are going in a group, set a time for them to be home, or
follow them at a safe, but not embarrassing distance)
Remind your kids to stay out of the street!
Be on the lookout for cars when crossing as sometimes it’s hard for drivers to see you!
Check ALL candy and treats before eating (bring some candy from home, so the kids can snack before you inspect)
