Trick or Treating for Dummies
🎃🦇💀🍭

🎃PART 3🎃
🍬 Supervision?
Its up to Mums and Dads to decide how old their kids need to be to trick or treat independently, so just use your best judgement when heading out.
Remember though… those kids might be riding a sugar rush so be careful when crossing roads, especially at twilight. Spooky facemasks make it doubly dangerous!

🍬 Make an evening of it
Its so much more fun when you can make an outing of it by inviting some classmates and their parents. It’s a great opportunity to get to know your neighbours too! Keen on Halloween is not just for the kids. It gets you out on your local streets to meet other Mums and Dads who are on the same parental 'journey' as you.

🍬 How do you ‘trick’ instead of ‘treat’?
Look…. Just don’t go there.... You have to crawl before you can walk, and as it’s a fairly new phenomenon on the Australian landscape, we’re probably not that open to being pranked. ‘Treat or Treat’ just doesn’t sound right though does it?

Trick or Treating for Dummies
🎃🦇💀🍭

🎃PART 2🎃
🍬 It’s a bit of a transaction…
If possible/suitable, kids get dressed up in their spooky outfits, and households reward those efforts with a tasty treat. Be sure not to turn away kids who haven't had an opportunity to dress up though.

🍬 Handfuls of treats?
Households will generally have a basket or some sort of container containing treats. It’s probably not an invitation to grab a handful, but rather one or two treats so that there are plenty left for others. Same goes for unattended treat baskets… just take a couple.

🍬 Single use plastics?
If you’re dressing up or decorating, make sure you keep that stuff for next year instead of binning it and buying new each time. Even better, get your craft on and make your own! Those plastic wrapped treats are not great either. Piles of single use lolly wrappers are not a great look around your house for the following few weeks, and even worse blown around our suburban streets.

🍬 COVID safe?
Tongs are a great way of distributing treats, and allow you to distribute unwrapped lollies without grubby fingers contaminating your stash.

Trick or Treating for Dummies:
🎃🦇💀🍭
🎃PART 1🎃

🍬What are the ‘rules’?
Well... there’s no 'rules' to trick or treating, but because we Aussies are relative rookies in this area, here are some tips on etiquette:

🍬Where do I find a home that’s ‘keen’ to participate?
Just head to the ‘map’ page which will not only show you which houses are happy to participate, but also lets you know what are the best hours to come around. Go to: www.keenonhalloween.com.au/map

🍬How do I approach a home to trick or treat?
It’s recommended you simply knock on their door and yell… ”Trick or Treat?” when someone answers. It’s OK for Mum or Dad to tag along too.

Can you believe the Town of Bassendean's 'Keen on Halloween' project is now in its 11th year?

In 2013, young people from Bassendean Youth Services came up with an initiative aimed at identifying households which were happy for kids to come to their door in costume to trick or treat, though locally it's really just about the 'treat' side of the equation.

Head to www.keenonhalloween.com.au/register to let your neighbours know its ok to come knocking.
