Before children start out on their "trick or treat" rounds, parents should:
- Make sure that an adult or an older responsible youth will be supervising the outing for young children .
-
- Plan and discuss the route trick-or-treaters intend to follow. Know the names of older children's companions.
-
- Instruct your children to travel only in familiar areas and along an established route.
-
- Teach your children to stop only at houses or apartment buildings that are well-lit and never to enter a stranger's home.
-
- Establish a return time.
-
- Tell your youngsters not to eat any treat until they return home.
-
- Review all appropriate trick-or-treat safety precautions, including pedestrian/traffic safety rules.
-
- Do not enter homes or apartments without adult supervision.
-
- Walk, do not run, from house to house. Do not cross yards and lawns where unseen objects or the uneven terrain can present tripping hazards.

- Walk on the left side of the road, facing traffic if there are no sidewalks.
