Halloween Persuasive Speech
Halloween is an exciting time of year for kids, and quite possibly for yourself. Come on, admit it. You have a secret love for filtering your children’s candy and picking out the good treats for yourself! It can also be a fun opportunity to get creative with your children, while creating or picking out a costume, and hitting the trick or treat trail! And while Halloween can be a night of giggles and smiles, there’s nothing fun about your child being in danger. So, to help ensure they stay safe, take a look at the tips below for this month’s festive holiday!
1. While picking out costumes, remember that clothing should be bright and reflective. Make sure that shoes fit well and that costumes are short enough to prevent tripping, entanglement or contact with flame. Consider adding reflective tape to costumes and trick-or-treat bags …show more content…
Review with children how to call 9-1-1 or their local emergency number, if they ever have an emergency or have become lost. Review with children your first and last names as well. (Note: Running out of candy is NOT an emergency)
3. If kids wish to display creative pumpkins, keep in mind that small children should not carve pumpkins by themselves. Pumpkins make a great canvas for acrylic paint, stickers, googly eyes, glasses, and markers. Consider using a flashlight or glow stick instead of a candle to light up your pumpkin. If you do use a candle, a votive candle is safest.
4. To keep homes safe for visiting trick-or-treaters, parents should remove from the porch and front yard anything a child could trip over such as garden hoses, toys, bikes and lawn decorations. Restrain animals so they don’t inadvertently jump on or bite trick or treaters.
5. If your kids are planning on trick or treating, but you plan on staying in, make sure a trusted adult tags along. This can help prevent incidents. Make sure you know the adults tagging along, even if it is a parent of a friend. (Dracula, Frankenstein, and Werewolf are not trusted
