Halloween tips to keep it fun

1. Walk with other kids or have your parents walk with you.
2. Stay on the sidewalks and don't cut across people's yards.
3. Cross at intersections and obey traffic lights.
4. If you wear a mask, make sure the holes are large enough to see and breathe through easily. MAKEUP IS SAFER.
5. Have a plan for walking so you cross the street only when necessary.
6. Don't go into other people's houses. Stay outside.
7. Go only to houses that are well lit.
8. Wear bright, reflective colors so that drivers can see you when it gets dark. Remember that just because you see the cars doesn't mean the drivers see you.
9. Be courteous and say “Thank you” to the people who give out treats. Don't push others when you are at the door.
10. Have your parents check your treats for tampering. If you see something suspicious, throw it away. Make sure that the treats are in their original wrappers. Don't eat homemade treats unless you know the people who gave them to you.
12. Carry identification, including your name, address and phone number
13. Trick or treat only in your own neighborhood.
14. After dark, take a flashlight along.
