Drivers can see my costume in

the dark.

Be original with a glow-in-the-dark

costume or carry a reflective trick-or-

treat bag. Use a flashlight or glow stick

when walking at night.

Im trick-or-treating in a group.

Dont go it alone while trick-or-treating.

Kids, if youre under age 12, make sure

you go with an adult. Older kids should

always go with buddies.

I cross streets at crosswalks

and intersections.

Stop at street corners. Look left, right

and left again before crossing and

dont cross between parked cars!

Remember, never step into the street

without looking to see if a vehicle is

coming.

I make sure my parents check

my treats before I eat them.

Pick only wrapped candy when you

trick-or-treat. Ask your parents to

check all treats to make sure they are

safe.
