👻 Smartiekats Trick-or-Treat Safety Activity 👻
Objective:
Teach children basic safety rules for Trick-or-Treating in a fun, interactive way. Focus on awareness, safe behavior, and making smart choices.
Safety Storytime
1. Safety Storytime
Read a Halloween-themed book about safety (like “Officer Buckle and Gloria” or “Safety First, Halloween!”).
Discuss key rules:
Stay with an adult
Look both ways before crossing streets
Walk, don’t run
Only visit well-lit houses
2. Costume Check & Visibility
Have children practice wearing safe costumes:
Avoid long hems that can trip
Bright colors or reflective tape
Masks that allow clear vision
3. Trick-or-Treat Role-Play
Set up a mini “neighborhood” in the classroom with pretend doors.
Children can practice:
Knocking politely
Saying “thank you”
Staying with the group or adult
4. Candy Safety Discussion
Teach children to only eat candy with an adult’s approval.
Use a fun chart or stickers: ✅ Safe to eat, ❌ Not safe yet
