1. All trick-or-treating should be done between 5:00 PM and
9:00 PM
2. Have each child carry or wear something
reflective and/or lighted-a flashlight, flashing/reflective attire or
flashing/light-up shoes are all good examples.
3. Adults should plan a route in advance and
check it during daylight hours for obstacles such as areas under construction,
or other obstacles that could potentially trip and injure trick-or-treaters.
4. When picking a trick-or-treat costume, goody
bags or container, think "practical" over "cute". Avoid
costumes that drag the ground to prevent tripping and be sure a child's mask
does not limit their visibility and does not restrict free breathing. Be sure
children don't get over-heated and remain hydrated.
5. Trick-or-treaters should walk, not run, and
should never cut across lawns or driveways. Obstacles could exist that aren't
readily visible in the evening.
6. Only carry flexible props-knives, swords,
ninja items, etc. that will not cause injury if a child accidentally falls. No
play prop should resemble the real item. Consider leaving play weapons at home.
Trick-or-treating should be a fun and positive experience for everyone.
7. Only trick-or-treat at houses that have a
standing/porch light on. Residents who do not wish to participate in
trick-or-treating should leave their standing lights off as a sign.
8. All candy and treats should be inspected by an adult prior to consuming.
