Here are the ones I chose to cover with JDaniel:
1. Children should never trick or treat alone
2. Parents need to check children’s candy before you eat it.
3. Children don’t have to talk to every stranger they meet.
.
4. Cross the street at the corner or the crosswalk.
5. Walk close to the curb if your neighborhood does not have sidewalks.
6. Visit houses with lights on.
7. Don’t play near a lit pumpkin.
8. Don’t push to the front of the group to get your candy first.
9. Say please and thank you.
10. Accept your treat at the front door. Don’t go in a stranger’s house.
11. Check your costume and make sure it isn’t too big or too long to walk in.
12. Make sure you can clearly see out of a mask if you costume has one.
Halloween Safety Rule Activities
JDaniel loved this game so much we ended up taking it to a restaurant and playing it before our meal came. The rules are in the pumpkin cup.
Here is what we used to review Halloween Safety:
-We used some train track that has a road side to be the road we walk on while trick or treating.
-I found a small pre- lit pumpkin light to represent the pumpkin children shouldn’t play near.
-My sister Kate just sent us the train station we used to represent the house we would visit while trick or treating.
-An odd assortment of characters from JDaniel’s Star Wars collection and his Playskool set also helped represent trick or treaters, the homeowner and a parent.
-I added leaves and small decorative pumpkins to the sensory bin too.
We had a great time sitting at the kitchen table pretending to trick or treat and reviewing the rules.
I hope you will take a moment or two to go over Halloween safety rules with your children. I found going over them while playing helped JDaniel remember them. I bet you can find fun ways play to review them at your house
