There are many good and safe ways to be a good Chaperon during a Halloween Party. Here are 10 Tips for Chaperoning a Halloween Party.

#10 Make sure that all the children are checked in

One good thing a Chaperon should to during a Halloween party is to make sure the children that are supposed to be at the party are checked in. Either you can make a list of the children that are going to be there, and when they come in check there name off. Also when you check children in make sure they put down a contact number for a parent just for emergency. Another good thing is to give all children a name tag when they check in so you know who they are.

#9 Have a list of rules for the party, and let the children know about them

When the children come in you should either pass out a list of the rules for the party, or let them know what the lists are. Also make sure the rules are enforced during the party.

#7 If a child is being unruly, call their parent to pick them up

#6 keep your eye out for anything unusual

#2 Make sure all children are checked out

To help make sure all children get home okay, make sure you check everyone out.

#1 Make sure everyone is having fun, but is also safe
