Wear clothing light enough to be seen. If your costume is dark, carry a neon stick or flashlight.

Always have an adult present, and make sure you are in their view when you go up to houses.

Have Mom and Dad take a look at your candy before eating it.

Never eat anything that is not wrapped.

Go to houses that are on your route plan and well-lit.

Try to avoid costumes with a "train" or that go past the ankles.

Don't wear masks or hoods, as they do not make you see well.

If you are staying home, check the peephole on the front door when there's a knock.

Cross at corners and crosswalks.

Don't run from house to house. For safety's sake, walk. Besides, it will savor your trick-or-treating time.
