You can have lots of fun when you go to Trick or Treat, but make sure you are safe as well. Here are a few hints for kids and parents alike on how to make this and every Halloween safe and fun despite the ghosts and goblins that might surround trick-or-treeters at every turn:

• Carry a flashlight to light your way
• Stay on the sidewalks
• Stay in neighborhoods that you are familiar with
• Visit homes that have lights on
• Carry quarters in case you need to call home
• Wear light-colored or reflective clothing so you are more visible (make sure to put reflective tape on any accessories you might have like brooms or swords)
• Make sure to tell your parents where you’re going
• Never go into a strangers house to get your treats, only accept them at the door
• Let your parents inspect your candy before eating it
• Look left, right, and left again before crossing the street
