In big groups, make sure there are enough adults to watch them all.

Wear lights or carry a flashlight.
It's always best to give the kids glow sticks or anything that lights up to stay visible to cars and to you. Some people have suggested that putting a reflective strip on the bottom of their shoes or costume helps their kids stay visible.

Stay away from long costumes.
Be sure to prepare you kid's costumes by hemming or making sure that they don't drag. The worse thing for a kid, is to trip and fall on their way to grab some candy.

Only carry flexible props.
Stay practical with your kids props. Don't over accessorize them to a point that they can't have a good time or keep track of their own costume.

Before your kids eat their treats, take a look at it and only let them eat non-opened sweets and stay away from home-made treats, unless you know the source.
