Chapter 1

I am going trick or treating

Halloween is on October 31st every year. On Halloween people like to dress up in costumes and go out trick or treating to get candy. I am going to get dressed up in (costume) and go trick or treating with my family.

[pic]

Trick or treating is great fun. People leave decorated pumpkins in a window or by the door this means I am allowed to knock at their door while I am trick or treating.

[pic]

When I am at the door I ring the bell it will only need 1 ring, if there is no bell I can knock the door and wait for the people inside the house to answer the door.

[pic]

When the people open the door I can say trick or treat and hold up my candy container. The people will put candy in my container. It doesn’t matter if I don’t like the candy I can sort it out later when I get home my family will help me to do this.

[pic]

When I get given candy I need to say thank you, people are happy to give me candy while I am trick or treating but they will expect me to say thank you it is polite. My family will be happy when I say thank you.

[pic]

Sometimes I might get asked what my costume is and I can say I am a (what).

[pic]

Then I move on to the next house that has a decorated pumpkin I can see. When it is time for me to go home my family will tell me. I can take all my candy home. At home I can sort my candy out.

Chapter 2

Safety rules for trick or treating

There are some important safety rules I need to remember when I am trick or treating.

[pic]

The most important rule I need to remember is to stay with my family. Sometimes I might get excited and want to run on ahead, but this is not a safe thing to do, my family need to know where I am at all times which I am out trick and treating.

[pic]

The second rule I need to remember is I should not cross the road on my own, roads are dangerous. There are cars on the road and if I run into the road one could hit me accidentally.

[pic]

The last rule I should remember is I must never go inside somebody’s house. I should always stay on the porch.

[pic]

When I remember to follow the safety rules I will have great fun trick or treating. If I don’t follow these safety rules I might have to go home and that would make me sad. Following the safety rules will make my family happy.

Chapter 3

Saying Hi

It is Halloween and I am going trick or treating with my family and some of my friends.

[pic]

When children go trick or treating they get candy. It is important to remember to only go to houses that have a decorated pumpkin in the window or at the door. Someone in the group I am with will ring the door bell or knock the door.

[pic]

When the people open the door we can all say trick or treat. I might not want to say trick or treat at every door, this is ok as long as I say Hi to the people when they give me candy.

[pic]

People are happy when I say Hi.

Chapter 4

Saying thank you

When I am out trick or treating with my family people will give me candy.

[pic]

I must only knock at doors where I can see a decorated pumpkin in the window or at the door these people do not mind me knocking. If there is no pumpkin I must knock at the door.

[pic]

When the people open the door I need to say trick or treat and hold up my candy bag. The people will give me candy.

[pic]

After they give me the candy I should say thank you. It is polite to say thank you when someone gives you candy. It doesn’t matter if I do not like the candy I can take it out when I get home.

Chapter 5

Staying with a grown up

When I am out trick or treating, I must remember a very important rule: it is very important to always stay with the adult and people that I am out trick or treating with.

[pic]

The adult I am out with is counting on me to be responsible. If I run on ahead and they can not see me they might get worried.

[pic]

I need to remember this rule, if I forget it I might have to go home and that would make me sad.

[pic]

So I will remember this important rule and everyone will be happy.

Chapter 6

The Halloween pumpkin

On October the 31st it is Halloween.

[pic]

People like to carve faces into pumpkins on Halloween. My family like to do this too and I can help.

[pic]

My family will help me to carve the top off of the pumpkin. I can scoop out the inside of the pumpkin ready to carve the face.

[pic]

I need to carve two eyes and a nose then last I need to carve a mouth. I can decide how many teeth to carve on the pumpkin mouth, I might decide to have one tooth or maybe I could carve more.

[pic]

When I am done carving the pumpkin I can carefully carry the pumpkin to the porch. I might need help if the pumpkin is heavy.

[pic]

Mum will put a candle inside the pumpkin so that people can see we are celebrating Halloween.
