COSTUME
- This Halloween, see and be seen! Some part of your costume should be bright and reflective! [ FLASH]
- Make sure you have shoes that fit to walk in - even if they don't match your costume![ FLASH]
- Make sure you can see to the sides from your costume's EYES - sometimes facepainting is more fun![ FLASH]
- Wear a watch you can see in the dark so you're home before you turn into a pumpkin - not that there's anything wrong with that![ FLASH]
- Cut any long sheets or capes so they don’t drag on the ground, or you may take an unwanted “trip”!
TRICK OR TREATING
- Never trick or treat alone
- Don't trick or treat on an empty stomach – have a spooky dinner or a monster healthy snack first[ FLASH]
- Keep your Halloween treats til you get home, and go through them with your family or an adult
- Before you go trick or treating, make a pirate map of your route - and give it to your parents!
- When trick or treating, don't take shortcuts across woods, yards, or especially driveways!
- Don't end up as a ghost - stay on the sidewalk and cross at the crosswalks! [ FLASH]
- Only trick or treat at houses with lights on or decorations[FLASH]
- Not all cultures celebrate Halloween, so don’t be mad – you might want to invite them to join in the fun!
- In case of Halloween emergency, carry a cell phone or some quarters to use a pay phone[ FLASH]
- It’s also a good idea to carry a flashlight if you’re in a dark neighborhood
- Tricks are cool, but it's not a funny trick if you hurt someone - including their feelings![ FLASH]
- Ewww! Don't eat unwrapped Halloween treats![ FLASH]
