Practice good manners when you Trick-Or-Treat!
What do your children need to know before they trick-or-treat?
To plan for this festive day, we're establishing some general ground rules for those on the "receiving" end.
- Stay on the walk-way to the front door. You don't want to mow down your neighbors prize mums.
- Ring the door bell twice, if no response go to another home.
- Homes that are dark, should not be approached. They are either not at home or do not wish to participate in Halloween.
- Carry a flash light at all times so cars can see you and you can see where you're walking. And parents can add reflective tape to costumes and candy containers.
- Be courteous when someone answers the door, say "Trick-or-Treat" nicely.
-
Be sure to say, "Thank you" after receiving your treat.
- Never go into someone's home.
- Only eat candy that is wrapped.
- Time to start Halloween is when it becomes dark outside and not past 9:00 p.m.
- Don't rifle through the candy to find your favorite treat. Take one treat unless told otherwise.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
