Halloween is all about costumes, candy, and fun—but it is also a great time to remind your school and community about staying safe after dark!
Use Halloween as an opportunity to create a traffic safety message for your school, younger students, parents, or community. Think about the people who will be walking, biking, or driving while trick-or-treating is happening.
You could focus on topics such as:
Pedestrian Safety: Remind trick-or-treaters to use sidewalks and crosswalks, look both ways, and stay alert around traffic.
Nighttime Visibility: Talk about the importance of being seen after dark. Reflective clothing, flashlights, and lights can help drivers see pedestrians.
Safe Driving: Remind drivers to slow down, watch carefully for pedestrians, and stay focused while driving through neighborhoods.
Impaired Driving: Halloween celebrations are never a reason to drive impaired. Plan ahead and make a safe ride home part of the celebration.
Get creative with how you share your message! You could make posters for your school, create a social media campaign, visit an elementary school, host a quick safety activity, or come up with your own Halloween-themed idea.
And remember: younger students look up to you! What may seem like a simple safety message to you could make a big impression on a younger student.
Take photos or videos of your activity and share them on your school's social media pages. Be sure to tag Oklahoma Challenge and your participating safety partners.
