THE 10 RULES FOR A SAFE HALLOWEEN!
1-    I wear short costumes to prevent falling
2-    I wear very bright costumes with reflective bands so I can be more visible
3-    I do not wear masks but makeup so that I can see and hear better
4-    I light up a flashlight to see better and to be better seen
5-    I inform my parents of the route to be taken and my coming home time
6-    I only ring at doors with a group or an adult and I always wait outside of the house
7-    I only take one side of the road at the time and I do not cross unnecessarily
8-    I only cross roads at intersections and I respect traffic signs
9-    I refuse to go near strange cars or to get in without my parents permission

Carefulness is so much better tasting
