Halloween Safety Tips for Older Students and Young Adults

Working with students and home heath clients of ALL ages has made me realize how often we assume our students and clients already know about keeping themselves safe! The truth is, they don’t, and as valuable members of their team, we have a seat at the table to help teach these students how to verbalize when they need assistance, how to advocate for themselves, and how to keep themselves safe.  

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays to celebrate with my own kids, but I will be the first to admit that it can also be a dangerous holiday. It’s important that we are working with our older students and young adults on cause/effect of different hypothetical problems that can arise on Halloween, verbalizing solutions, expressing when they need help, and taking steps to ensure their own safety. 

I spend a good portion of October talking with my students, home health clients, and my own kiddos talking about Halloween safety tips. You can snag my Halloween Safety Tips for Teens from my FREEBIE LIBRARY by clicking  HERE or on the image below. 

Here are some of my other favorite resources I use to address Halloween Safety with Older Students and Young Adults. 

Halloween Safety Boom Cards™

This resource consists of 25 digital task cards. Students are presented with hypothetical situations and a corresponding real-life image, and asked to identify whether the situation is safe or not safe. Students are then asked to use an open response text box to describe why or why not the situation is safe or not safe. You can purchase this by clicking HERE or on the image below.
