At The First Tee we talk about three types of respect: for yourself, for others, and for your surroundings. You can respect yourself by not eating too much candy so you won’t get sick, or, if possible, walk while you trick-or-treat to get some exercise! Respect others on Halloween by always saying “thank you” and not participating in “tricks” that might hurt someone’s feelings. Finally, respect your surroundings by not littering or destroying property.
Healthy Habit – Friends:
Friends can make Halloween extra fun! Consider dressing up with a friend in coordinating costumes (salt and pepper, ketchup and mustard, or peanut butter and jelly) and go trick-or-treating together. You can even include the whole family with a full group of costumes: the cast of your favorite television show or movie or even a group of super heroes! By sticking with your friends, you will always have a buddy with whom to stay safe.
Core Value – Judgment:
Judgment on Halloween goes along with safety. Judgment is the ability to make a decision after thinking about all of the options. Using good judgment on Halloween means choosing safe streets to trick-or-treat on, wearing appropriately sized and comfortable clothes and shoes to prevent trips and falls, and even, after you trick-or-treat, making sure you do not eat too much candy!
Healthy Habit – Community:
Leave a good impression with your community by always remembering to be safe, respectful, use good judgment while having fun with your friends!
We hope everyone has a safe and fun Halloween! Using The First Tee Life Skills on Halloween
Halloween is only one month away! While trick-or-treating can make for one of the best and most fun nights of the year, it is always important to be alert, especially when you’re out at night. The Nine Core Values and The Nine Healthy Habits that The First Tee of Greater Charleston instills in participants are not just made for golf instruction. Everything we teach kids can and should be used outside of golf: at home, at school, and even out in your neighborhood on Halloween night for those of you who will be trick-or-treating. Here are some ways to use our Core Values and Healthy Habits to make your night the best it can be:
Healthy Habit – Safety:
While Halloween is all about “scares,” safety doesn’t have to be one of them. Easy ways to stay safe on Halloween are: applying reflective tape to Halloween costumes and goody bags, carrying a flashlight while trick-or-treating, and only going to the houses of families you know.
