Many students go trick-or-treating, and it is always a good idea to remind them about safe practices. Have your students come up with safety tips as a class, or provide them with a list, and let students create scenes that shows these safe practices in action.
In addition to the safety tips in the example storyboard, there are also many other things that parents and kids should keep in mind.
