HALLOWEEN SAFETY TALKS!!!!
What are you doing to bring in students during the month of October besides having the traditional Halloween Party.
How about doing a school "BE SAFE THIS HALLOWEEN TALK". All you need to talk is be somewhat animated and informative. You don't have to go overboard with complicated self-defense moves.
Heres a breakdown, first plan your talk by writing the topics you want to be covered for instance on simple 3X5 cards.
We always start out our talk about Halloween being a fun time, with costumes, and candy, and parties.
Q:What is your favorite thing about Halloween?
A: Varies with child, might be candy, might be costumes, might be both.
Q:Do you go trick-or-treating by yourself? or with someone else? or with parents?
A: Depends on the age group you are talking to.
Q:What kind of costume are you wearing? This leads to next statement about costume safety, is costume fire retardant, can you move easily in it? Make sure your friends don't leave you alone, have a rendevous point in case of being lost. Can you see clearly, if not take mask off when crossing streets, walking on sidewalk, only put on mask right at door before knocking or ringing. If costume same as everyone need to make different add bright colors, put reflective tape on back of costume, with a easy to see design like a number, a stick man, smiley face, etc... Don't approach any pets even if pets know you, accidents happen because pets can get excited and scared and then they can bite, and turn mean.
If lost don't go to police person since people can dress up as police, fire, doctor,find an adult with lots of kids around them. Ask for help, know emergency numbers for mom/dad/big bro, big sis, etc...
If adult asks for help, even if they want you to come in, don't do it. Adults help Adults with problems, not kids.
Q: What is a Stranger?
A: A stranger can be good or bad it's just somebody you don't know.
Never go into a stranger's house, even if you've been in it before unless your parents give you permission during this time of fun.
Talk about Candy Rules; Don't eat candy until at home, and parents or another adult can inspect it. Reason; Adults know what to look for if candy is bad, has ingredients you might be allergic to, has objects in them, etc...
I'm sure you have more topics to cover as well as more in depth information. This is just to give you an idea.
Whatever you do, use this as a way to network with the school and show you care about the safety of the students. Some schools will let you give out Halloween Safety Handouts, others might not. You might not be able to get into the school system this late notice, then use option B. Bring the Halloween Safety Talk to your school, have each student bring a buddy. Use the Halloween Safety Talk as a way to get referrals. Tell the kids that most of them will go trick-or-treating with a friend. And you want them to bring in that friend so you both will know what to do if one of you gets lost, hurt, sick, etc..... Plan this Buddy week with special activities that you normally don't do, like an Stranger/Danger Obstacle Course, a mini flopping fish safety lesson, animal relays, etc...
By utilizing the above strategies you will be able to have a SPOOK-tacular Halloween.
