Halloween Time Is Fun Time! Check Out These Ideas To Make Sure That It's A Safe Time Too!

WHEN YOU TRICK-OR-TREAT...

BRING A FLASHLIGHT: You want to see where you're going don't you?

BRING A GROWN UP: It's more fun to trick-or-treat with an adult. They'll make sure that you stay safe AND sometimes they can help you find the houses with the best candy :)

STAY ON SIDEWALKS: When you cruise around in the street, fast cruising cars might not see you. Steer clear of these guys. Stay on the sidewalk, and cross the street at crosswalks and stoplights. Okay?

OH, HEY...CAN YOU SEE? If you are wearing a creepy or funny mask, make sure that your eyes aren't covered. You will want to see where you are walking, and what sorts of treats you are getting!

REFLECT IT UP! Try putting some glow in the dark or reflective tape on your costume. It looks cool to glow, AND you will be seen...this keeps you safe.

ARE THE LIGHTS ON? Only go to houses that are brightly lit with their lights on. The houses with no lights on means, "Sorry kids, not feeling the halloween spirit".

DON'T GO IN! Never go into the house of a stranger on Halloween. You can politely say, "No thanks, I'll just take the candy right here on the front porch."

WHERE ARE YOU? Make sure to stay in neighborhoods that you know. It's not a good idea to wander into places that don't look familiar. Keep it safe by keeping it close to home. There's plenty of candy, don't worry!

CHOW DOWN ONLY AT HOME I know candy is pretty sweet, BUT wait to chow down until you and an adult can sort through your loot. An adult can help you make sure that your candy is cool.

AVOID THE BELLY ACHE Dude! Control yourself! If you eat too much candy you will feel like there is a monster living in your belly. Slow down and enjoy a few pieces of your favorite candy...it will taste a lot sweeter.

THANK YOU! Don't forget to say "THANK YOU" when your neighbors throw treats into your bag. AND don't forget to thank the adults that go trick-or-treating with you, (it's a pretty cool thing for them to do for you).
