A Social Story: Trick or Treating On Halloween!
[Link]
October 31st is Halloween. On this day, children dress up in costumes and go trick-or-treating.
Some towns allow children to go trick-or-treating on a different day. This year I will go trick-or-treating on _____________________.

I will go trick-or-treating with __________________(adult name) and I will follow their directions so I can stay safe. I may see some costumes or houses decorated in a way that is scary or makes me feel anxious.
I can tell the adult I am with I am scared and they will not make me go near houses or people I fear!

When I go trick-or-treating I will follow these rules:
1. I will stay with an _________________(adult name). 2. I will walk on the sidewalk. 3. I will look both ways for cars and hold hands before I cross the street. 4. I will carry my own Halloween bag, bucket, or pillowcase.

When I go trick-or-treating I will:
1. Walk up to a neighbors house ONLY IF they have their porch light on or are waiting outside to give out candy.
2. If the door is closed, I will knock on their door or ring their door bell.
3. If there are other children there, I will wait my turn. 4. When someone opens the door I will hold out my Halloween bag and say Trick or Treat!. 5. When they give me some candy I will look at them and say Thank you. Happy Halloween!, turn around and walk to the next house.

When I am finished trick-or-treating I will go home and take off my costume. I will give my candy to my mom or dad so they can put it away for me.
If I want some candy I will ask them using my manners words Can I have some candy, please?. I will wait for my parents to give me permission before I eat any candy. I will say Happy Halloween to my parents before I go to bed. [Link]
