2. What is Halloween?
Halloween is celebrated on
31st October.
It is on the eve of (the day before) All Saints Day.
All Saints Day is also called All Hallows. So,
Halloween is short for All Hallows´ Eve.
It is scary, but fun.

3. Halloween comes from
a Celtic tradition which
celebrates the end of
the harvest.

4. WHAT DO WE DO?
We dress up in costumes, for example as
ghosts, witches, black cats, pumpkins or
skeletons.

5. We paint our faces.

6. The children go trick or treating. They knock on
their neighbours’ doors, saying, ‘Trick or
Treat?’. The neighbours give sweets to the
children.

7. We eat lots of sweets and chocolate.

8. We play games, often involving food. Some
examples are apple bobbing and doughnuts on a
string.
Apple bobbing: There
are lots of apples floating
in some water. You
have to pick an apple up
with your teeth.

9. Doughnuts on a string: You have to eat a
doughnut which is hanging on a piece of string.
You cannot use your hands to eat it, only your
mouth.

10. We carve pumpkins into ´Halloween
Lanterns´ and put a candle inside each one.
We sometimes have competitions for the best
lantern.
