What to do
Choose a route and meeting point
Tell everyone where the group is going and where to meet if separated.
Make costumes easy to see and move in
Use reflective/bright elements and make sure masks, shoes and accessories do not block vision or walking.
Use sidewalks and crossings
Cross at corners/crosswalks, look both ways and avoid darting between parked cars.
Carry light and contact information
Use flashlights or glow items and ensure children know how to reach a trusted adult.
Check treats before eating
Have an adult review candy/treats, especially for allergies, damaged packaging or age-related choking risks.
Keep pets secure
Costumes, doorbells and crowds can stress pets. Keep them safely controlled and away from unsafe treats.
