Betty's Tips for Safe Halloween Sharing If you're preparing your goodie bags, remember to wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds before and after preparing the bags. Ever heard of one-way trick-or-treating? Line up your individually wrapped goodie bags at the end of your driveway, or the edge of the yard for families and fiends to grab at a safe distance. Create a goodie scavenger hunt in your front yard. Hide your safely wrapped goodie bags behind yard decorations for your neighbors to find. Deliver your goodies to your neighbors' driveways and front yards before the sun goes down. You'll miss the masses and still be the sweet one on the block.
