Safety tips everyone should read for Halloween PDF Print E-mail

Kids love Halloween—they get to dress up and get free candy. Give kids some precious Halloween memories that they’ll have for life.

Some kids already know things that can be done to be safe, like how to cross the street, not to talk to or go with strangers and things like that. But adults know how exciting Halloween can be and that can make kids forget to be careful.

Here are some tips just for kids, to help keep them safe on Halloween night. Some of these ideas are called “common sense” ideas. That means they are things that a person should know and use every day in life. 

How To Be Safe

• Never, ever go into a strangers house or even ring their door for treats unless your parents are with you and say that it’s okay. There are some people in life who aren’t very nice to kids and you have to be careful. Always make sure that your mom or dad is within sight when you go out trick-or-treating.



• If you can drive and are taking a bunch of friends to a party, make sure that you have enough gas to get there. You don’t want to run out on a dark street, all alone, like a bad horror movie!


• Vandalism is never cool! Throwing eggs at cars and houses is not cool. Someone has to clean it up and it could be you, if you get caught. You can also be arrested and punished as a juvenile. So, don’t think that it’s fun only if you can get away with it. It’s never the right thing to do! Think about how you would feel if someone did that to your house and how bad it would make you feel.


Have fun on Halloween but keep it safe, have some good, clean fun and your parents will trust you for many Halloweens to come! Showing them how responsible you can be will give you a feeling of pride and make them see just how adult you really are.
