It can be easily seen by motorists and the costume won't get in the way when walking. 2. Use makeup to disguise face. Masks don't just hide faces, they hide everything in front of them too. 3. When it's dark out you can be seen easier when your flashlight is turned on. 4. Before you go out, tell an adult where you are going and when you will be back. 5. When you are going from door to door, always go with friends, never alone. 6. Do not constantly go from one side of the street to the other. Cross at the corner and never between parked cars. 7. Never go into houses; always stay at the door. 8. Never get into a car driven by a stranger. 9. If you need help, you will always know where to find it with the red- and-white BLOCK PARENT sign. 10.
